Method B: Connect the monitor to the DV camcorder or VCR as follows:

1.Connect an RCA video cable (yellow) or S-Video cable (black) from the Video Out con- nector on the camcorder or VCR to the Video In connector on the TV monitor.

2.Connect an RCA cable (red and white) from the Audio Out connector on the back of camcorder or VCR to the Audio In connector 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 will need to use a Y-adapter if the monitor only supports mono input.

If the TV monitor does not support the kinds of cables shown above, you might 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.

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 chan- nel. 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.
