Connecting an Optional Preview Monitor

Analog or DV Output Configurations

During analog output or DV output (with an analog output device connected), if the con- nectors on your camcorder or VCR and your monitor are compatible, you can connect a preview monitor as follows:

1.Connect one end of an RCA (composite) video cable (yellow) or S-Video cable (black) to the Video Out connector on the camcorder or VCR.

2.Connect the other end of the cable to the Video In connector on the TV monitor.

3.Connect an RCA audio cable (red and white) from the Audio Out connectors on the back of camcorder or VCR to the Audio In connectors on the monitor.

Note: Your audio cable may have separate connectors for left and right, or the connec- tors might be joined as shown in the illustration below. Remember that you need to use a Y-adapter if your monitor only supports mono input.

If the TV monitor does not support the kinds of cables shown below, you may be able to connect it using a coaxial cable. Many VCRs and most TVs have this kind of connec- tor, and many VCRs come with a coaxial cable.

Connecting the TV monitor to the camcorder or VCR results in the configuration shown below

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the camcorder or VCR and monitor are set up properly to receive a video signal. It might be necessary to set a camcorder to VTR mode, while a VCR or monitor might need to be set to “Line In,” “L1,” “L2,” “Aux” or a similar channel. Or, if a monitor is connected to a VCR with a coaxial cable, you might need to set the monitor to channel 3 or 4. Check each device’s documentation for specific details.
