2Attach the audio/video input cable’s yellow plug to the VIDEO OUT jack on the TV or VCR.

3Attach the plug on the other end of the audio/video input cable to the audio/video in/out connector behind the small cover on the side of the camcorder.

(Match the tabs on the plug with the notches on the camcorder connector. Do not force the plug.)
