SL2 external Monitor playback issue.

I got my hands on a Canon SL2 for some small film project. I have it connected to an external monitor to increase the screen view. But i notice that when i try to review the video through the monitor there is no controls to play it back.

I have to disable the monitor then hit the touch screen to activate Play Button to review my videos.

Is the SL2 not ment to work with a monitor? Anyone had a similar problem or have a solution?...help

I've not tried, but p195 of the basic instruction manual says press AV +- button to bring up the playback panel.
