How To Attach The Core Filter (for optional S-Video

Cable)

Attach the core filters to the cables. The core filter
reduces interference.
1Release the stoppers on both ends of the core filter.
2Run the cable through the core filter, leaving approx.
3cm of cable between the cable plug and the core filter.
Wind the cable once around the outside of the core filter
as shown in the illustration.
Wind the cable so that it is not slack.
3Close the core filter until it clicks shut.
NOTES:
Take care not to damage the cable.
When connecting a cable, attach the end with the core filter
to the camcorder.
This camcorder’s 2-way power supply system lets you
choose the most appropriate source of power. Do not use
provided power supply units with other equipment.
