Why is there no sound on my Panasonic Camcorder when connected to TV?
If you're not getting video or audio output from your Panasonic Camcorder when connected to the TV, or the images appear squeezed, ensure you've selected the correct channel on your TV that matches the input used for the connection, referring to your TV's operating instructions. Adjust the [TV ASPECT] setting on the camcorder to match the TV's aspect ratio. If using an HDMI cable, adjust the [HDMI] setting on the camcorder. Also, verify the unit's status and cable connections.
