Connecting your TV

Connecting a camcorder

This connection allows you to watch videos recorded on a camcorder.

You will need:

•one set of standard A/V cables (see notes at right)

Camcorder

Note:

•For better picture quality, if your camcorder has S-video, you can use an S-video cable (plus the standard audio cables) instead of a standard video cable.

•Do not connect both a standard video cable and an S-video cable at the same time, or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

Note:

•When using an external audio amplifier, if you set AUDIO OUT to VARIABLE, the volume of both the TV and amplifier must be set above 0 (zero) or you will not hear any sound. See “Selecting fixed/variable AUDIO OUT” on page 39.

•If you set AUDIO OUT to VARIABLE, the TV’s volume controls will adjust the volume. If you set AUDIO OUT to FIXED, you must use the amplifier’s volume controls

to adjust the volume. See “Selecting fixed/variable AUDIO OUT” on page 39.
