*1 The supplied A/V connecting cable has a video plug and an S video plug for the video connection.

*2 This connection produces higher quality DV format pictures. When there is an S video jack on the device to be connected, connect the S video plug to that jack instead of using the yellow video plug. The audio will not be output when you connect with the S video plug alone.

bNotes on the A/V connecting cable

•When you connect your camcorder to the other

devices using the A/V connecting cable, make sure

the [DISPLAY] setting in the (OTHERS) menu is set to [LCD] (the default setting) before

connecting (p. 61).

•When you are connecting your camcorder to monaural device, connect the yellow plug of the A/

V connecting cable to the video jack, and the red or the white plug to the audio jack on the VCR or the TV.

To use an i.LINK cable for connection

Use an i.LINK cable (optional) to connect your camcorder to the other device via the DV Interface. The video and sound signals are transmitted digitally, producing high quality pictures. Note that you cannot record the picture and sound separately. For details, see page 85.
