[Question] How to playback pictures/movies from the CX5 on a television:

Pictures/Movies from the CX5 can be played back on a TV.
The camera displays everything on the TV screen just as the image/movie would appear on display of the camera. In order to view them on the TV screen, connect the camera to the TV using a cable.

The CX5 has two output terminals for viewing them on a television;
(1) one is the common terminal for USB / AV output terminal,
(2) the other is the HDMI micro output terminal.

The AV cable for (1) is supplied in the package. The HDMI cable for (2) is optional.
