*If your VCR has a SCART connector, use the provided cable adapter. (The provided cable adapter accepts only output signals from this camcorder. To use this camcorder as a recorder, use a commercially available cable adapter.)

**Connect when your TV/VCR has an S-VIDEO IN connector. In this case, it is not necessary to connect the yellow video cable.

NOTE:
