Basic Connections
1
Make sure all units are turned off.
2
Connect the camcorder to a TV or VCR as
shown in the illustration ( pg. 36).
If using a VCR . . . go to step 3.
If not . . . go to step 4.
3
Connect the VCR output to the TV input,
referring to your VCRs instruction manual.
4
Turn on the camcorder, the VCR and the TV.
5
Set the VCR to its AUX input mode, and set the
TV to its VIDEO mode.
NOTES:
It is recommended to use the AC Power Adapter/
Charger as the power supply instead of the battery
pack (
pg. 7).
If your VCR has an S-Video input connector,
connect the camcorder and the VCR using the
provided S-Video cable. This can improve the
dubbed picture quality.
To monitor the picture and sound from the
camcorder without inserting a tape, set the
camcorders Power Switch to CAMERA (AUTO
or PRO.), 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.
