Using your camcorder abroad
Power supply
You can use your camcorder in any countries/regions using the AC Adaptor supplied with your camcorder within the AC 100 V to 240 V, 50 Hz/60 Hz range.
Viewing high definition image quality (HD) movies
In countries/regions where 1080/60i is supported, you can view the movies with the same high definition image quality (HD) as that of the recorded movies. You need a NTSC-system-based and 1080/60i compatible TV (or monitor). An HDMI cable must be connected.
Viewing standard definition image quality (STD) movies
To view standard definition image quality (STD) movies, you need a NTSC-system-based TV with AUDIO/VIDEO input jacks. An A/V connecting cable must be connected.
On TV color systems
Your camcorder is a NTSC-system-based camcorder. If you want to view the playback image on a TV, it must be a NTSC-system-based TV with an AUDIO/VIDEO input jack.
