pg. 7).
Use the provided cables, making sure to connect the ends with a core filter to the camcorder. The core filter
reduces interference.
To monitor the picture and sound from the camcorder without inserting a tape or MultiMediaCard, set the
camcorder’s Power Switch to “ ” or “ ”, then set your TV to the appropriate input mode.
Make sure you adjust the TV sound volume to its minimum level 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.
Set the video out select switch of the cable adapter as required:
Y/C :When connecting to a TV or VCR which accepts Y/C signals and uses an S-Video cable.
CVBS :When connecting to a TV or VCR which does not accept Y/C signals and uses an audio/video cable.
