2 Connect the other ends of the AV cable (yellow: video, white: audio) to the AV device’s video input terminal and audio input terminal.

When using stereo sound equipment, insert the sound terminal into the L (white) terminal.

3 Turn the AV device on.

When the device that the camera is connected to and the device that plays back images are different, turn both devices on.

When viewing images on AV equipment with multiple video input terminals (such as a TV), refer to the operation manual of the device and select the video input terminal to which the camera is connected.
