If the TV monitor does not support the kinds of cables shown above, you might be able to connect it using a coaxial cable. Many VCRs and most TVs have this kind of connec- tor, and many VCRs come with a coaxial cable.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the camcorder or VCR and monitor are set up properly to receive a video signal. It might be necessary to set a camcorder to VTR mode, while a VCR or monitor might need to be set to “Line In,” “L1,” “L2,” “Aux” or a similar chan- nel. Or, if a monitor is connected to a VCR with a coaxial cable, you might need to set the monitor to channel 3 or 4. Check each device’s documentation for specific details.
