Recording from VCR or TV Monitor

To connect your camcorder to a TV (or VCR) with AUDIO and VIDEO OUT jacks, you will need an optional VAA008 audio/video input cable shown on page 63. If your TV is already connected to a VCR, you can attach the camcorder to the VCR and watch what the camcorder is recording on the TV.

Note: To monitor what the camcorder is recording when using the input cable, plug the supplied audio/video output cable into the back of the audio/video input cable. Make sure to connect the yellow video plug of the output cable to the VIDEO IN jack of the TV. Details are on pages 56-57.
