Recording/Playback

A/V connecting cable (supplied)

The Handycam Station has an A/V OUT jack (p. 102) and the camcorder has an A/V Remote Connector (p. 99). Connect the A/V connecting cable either to the Handycam Station or to your camcorder, according to your setup.

A/V connecting cable with S VIDEO (optional)

When connecting to another device via the S VIDEO jack, by using an A/V connecting cable with an S VIDEO cable (optional), higher quality images can be produced than with an A/V connecting cable. Connect the white and red plugs (left/right audio) and the S VIDEO plug (S VIDEO channel) of the A/V connecting cable with an S VIDEO cable (optional). The yellow

plug connection is not necessary. Connecting only the S VIDEO plug will not output audio.

Notes

Do not connect A/V connecting cables to both your camcorder and the Handycam Station at the same time. The image might get disturbed.

Tips

You can display the counter on the TV screen by setting [DISP OUTPUT] to [V-OUT/ PANEL] (p. 67).

When your TV is connected to a VCR

Connect your camcorder to the LINE IN input on the VCR. Set the input selector on the VCR to LINE (VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, etc.), if the VCR has an input selector.
