Connect the camcorder to your TV or VCR to watch the playback picture on the TV screen.
When monitoring the playback picture by connecting the camcorder to your TV, we
recommend you to use house current for the power source.
Connecting directly to a TV or VCR with Audio/Video input jacks
Open the jack cover and connect the camcorder to the inputs on the TV by using the
supplied A/V connecting cable. Set the TV/VCR selector on the TV to VCR.
Turn down the volume of the camcorder.
To get higher quality pictures in DV format, connect the camcorder to your TV using the S
video connecting cable (not supplied).
If you are going to connect the camcorder using the S video connecting cable (not supplied)
[a], you do not need to connect the yellow (video) plug of the A/V connecting cable [b].
If your VCR or TV is a monaural type
Connect only the white plug for audio on both the camcorder and the VCR or the TV. If you
connect the white plug, the sound is L (left) signal. If you connect the red plug, the sound is
R (right) signal.
