Connections for Playback on a TV

Although you can enjoy playback on the camcorder’s LCD monitor, you can also play back tapes on your TV screen.

Connection to TV Using the Docking Station

1 Attach the camcorder to the Docking Station (see page 8).

2 Connect the Docking Station to your TV with the supplied audio/video cable.

3 Set the TV to its “AV” or “VIDEO” channel. (See the operation manual for your TV.)

•If your TV has an S-video input connector, connect it to the Docking Station’s S-VIDEO connector with the supplied S-video cable.

Caution:

•Make sure that the camcorder, TV and other equipment to be connected have been turned off before you make connections. Making connections with any of the components left turned on may cause picture noise or malfunction.

Note:

•When the camcorder is connected to a TV for playback, the picture on the TV screen may flicker if the volume on the camcorder is set to maximum. Should this occur, turn the volume down (see page 34).

Connection to TV Using a VCR

1 Connect the Docking Station to your VCR

with the supplied audio/video cable.

2 Set the VCR to its “LINE” or “VIDEO” input channel. Operate the TV as you normally do to see the signal from the VCR. (See the operation manuals for your TV and VCR.)

•If your VCR has an S-video input connector, connect it to the Docking Station’s S-VIDEO connector with the supplied S-video cable.

About the S-video Connector

S-video connectors are used to pass the chroma (color) and luminance (brightness) components of video signals separately. They serve to improve the picture quality in both recording and playback.

Note:

•When both the normal A/V cable and the S-video cable are connected to the Docking Station, video signals are output only through the S-video cable. Do not connect the S-video cable to the Docking Station if the video equipment to be connected does not have an S-video connector.
