Other Information

VH83 A/V Cable

Replacement for the included A/V cable (CC6364). Used to attach the camcorder to an external component like a TV or VCR.

Using the Optional AC088 Tripod

Mounting the camcorder on a tripod, such as AC088, keeps the camcorder steady and produces excellent video results.

This tripod’s fluid-effect head provides smooth camera pan and tilt. The quick-release mount makes it easy to attach or remove the camcorder. The grooved, tubular 3-section leg design folds down to 26" when not in use. Rubber feet allow for sure footing.

To order accessories, contact your local Dealer.

Cautions:

•Before using a tripod, make sure it is stable enough to hold the camcorder without falling over. Do not transport the camcorder attached to the tripod.

•When attaching your camcorder to a tripod, be careful not to force the tripod screw into the camcorder’s tripod mounting hole.

•The tripod screw should not protrude into the camcorder more than approximately three-eighths (3/8) of an inch. Forcing the screw could damage the mounting hole on the bottom of the camcorder.
