Playback on a TV Without Audio/Video Inputs

To connect your camcorder to a TV without audio/video inputs, you will need an optional 1CVA147C RF output adapter and an optional coaxial RF cable, such as VH82 or VH90 shown on page 78. If your TV has AUDIO and VIDEO IN jacks (or is connected to a VCR), refer to pages 72-73.

Installation

1Disconnect the VHF antenna from your TV. Connect the antenna to the IN FROM ANT connector on the RF output adapter if you are going to leave the adapter connected to the TV.

Note: If your VHF antenna is the flat twin-lead type attached by two screws, you will also need an optional 300/75 ohm transformer.

2Attach one end of the optional coaxial RF cable to the OUT TO TV connector on the adapter, and attach the other end to the VHF input on your TV as shown.

Note: If your TV has 300 ohm screw terminals, you will need a 75/300 ohm transformer, such as VH54, shown on page 78.

3Attach the RF output adapter’s plug to the AUDIO, RF DC OUT, and VIDEO jacks located under the small cover on the back of the camcorder.
