Follow the steps below if you have a standard 'IV that does not have

AUDIO/ VIDEO input jacks. Refer to page 39 if you have a monitor/ receiver with input jacks.

You will need the RF output adapter and coaxial RF cable that came

packed with your camcorder. If your antenna cable is the flat twin-lead

type that is attached by two screws, you will also need the 300/75-ohm

transformer.

QDisconnect the VHF antenna from your TV set. (You can leave the UHF wires alone.)

OConnect your VHF antenna to the RF input adapter. (This step is not necessary unless you plan to leave the RF adapter hooked up to your TV set.)

A.If your antenna cable is a round 75-ohm cable, connect it to the ANT connecter on

the RF adapter.

B.If your antenna cable is a flat twin-lead, you will need the 300/75-ohm transformer that

was packed in your camcorder. Connect the flat- lead connectors to the screw terminals on the 300/75-ohm transformer. Then connect the transformer to the ANT

connector on the RF adapter.

QPlug the multi-pinconnector fitting on the RF adapter into the AV OUT jack on the camcorder. To aid connection, match the tabs on the fitting with the notches on the camcorder jack. Don't force the fitting. If it does not slide in easily, check your marks and try again. (If the camcorder is used as a camera while connected to the TV, be sure to turn the set's volume down to prevent a high- pitched squeal caused by feedback.)

®Set the switch on the RF adapter to channel 3 or 4, whichever is not used as a broadcast channel

in your area. Turn on the TV

and tune it to the channel you have chosen.
