Hi Guys,

Sorry if this has been asked before. I haven’t had much success searching for x.v.Colour in the forums.

I have just got my HDR-HC7 and will be heading off to Rome tomorrow night. I am a bit confused with the x.v.Colour option. The Sony manual states

“Set x.v.color to on only when content will be played back on a x.v.Color-complient TV. If the movie recorded with this function is played back on a non- x.v.Color-complient TV the color may not be reproduced correctly.”

I would like to record the pictures from Rome at the best (best now and in the future) setting, but I do not have a x.v.Color-complient TV and will share the video with friends who are in the same boat. I will get one of these TVs eventually. I have played around with this setting on and off and haven’t been able to see a difference. Does anybody have experience of this. How bad might the “the color may not be reproduced correctly” be?

Thanks,

Bill

I've read that statement from Sony before. I was told by an expert (but not an official Sony spokesman) that you only get the benefit on a x.v. colour tv, but that it does no harm to have it set on. This agrees with my eyes (don't see any difference on an ordinary TV with it on and off) as well as yours.

As to will you be able to see the difference if you eventually get a x.v.colour TV, that I don't know...
