You can also create a copy of the picture recorded on your camcorder on other recording device (p. 87).

*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.

•Use the A/V connecting cable to connect your

camcorder to other devices. Before connecting, make sure the [DISPLAY] setting in the (STANDARD SET) menu is set to [LCD PANEL]

(the default setting) (p. 81).

•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 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 121.
