shown in the illustration (
Z
pg. 32).

3
Connect the VCR output to the TV input,

NOTES:
●
It is recommended to use the AC Power Adapter/
Charger as the power supply instead of the battery
pack (
Z
pg. 7).
●
If your VCR has an S-Video input connector,
connect the camcorder and the VCR using the
provided S-Video cable. This can improve the
dubbed picture quality.
●
To monitor the picture and sound from the
camcorder without inserting a tape, set the
camcorder’s Power Switch to “CAMERA” (“AUTO”
or “PRO.”), then set your TV to the appropriate
input mode.
●
Make sure you adjust the TV sound volume to its
minimum level to avoid a sudden burst of sound
when the camcorder is turned on.
●
If you have a TV or speakers that are not specially
shielded, do not place the speakers adjacent to the
TV as interference will occur in the camcorder
playback picture.
●
Set the video out select switch of the cable adapter
as required:
Y/C : When connecting to a TV or VCR which
accepts Y/C signals and uses an S-Video
cable.
