Tips
•To change the recording mode, see page 32.
•If your VCR is a monaural type, connect the
yellow plug of the A/V connecting cable to
the video output jack and the white or the
red plug to the audio output jack on the VCR
or the TV. If you connect the white plug, the
sound is from the L (left) signal. If you
connect the red plug, the sound is from the R
(right) signal.
•Connecting via an S video jack reproduces
pictures more faithfully. When there is an S
video jack on the device to be connected,
connect the S video plug to that jack instead
of using the yellow video plug. The audio
will not be output when you connect via the
S video plug alone.
