•It may take a few seconds before TBC actually starts working.

Connections To A TV/VCR

1)Make sure all units are turned off.

2)Connect the camcorder to a TV or VCR. If using both TV and VCR, connect the VCR output to the TV input.

3)Turn on all units. Set the VCR to its AUX input mode, and set the TV to its VIDEO mode.

•Use the AC Adapter as the power supply.

•The S-Video cable connection can improve the dubbed picture quality. The S-Video cable is optional. Be sure to use the following cable: YTU94146A S-Video cable.

Consult the JVC Service Center described on the sheet included in the package for details on its availability. Make sure to connect the end with a core filter to the camcorder. The core filter reduces interference.

•Be sure to lower the TV volume to its minimum 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.
