You can also connect the camcorder to a TV to
allow a larger audience to enjoy video play-
back.
Caution:
• Make sure that the camcorder, TV, VCR and other
equipment to be connected have been turned off
before you make connections. Making connections
with any of the components left turned on may
cause picture noise or a malfunction.
1
Open the terminal cover on the
camcorder.
2
Connect the camcorder to your TV (or
VCR) with the supplied audio/video/S-
video cable, as shown.
Audio/video/S-video cable
(supplied)
3
Turn on the TV and set it to the “AV” or
“VIDEO” channel. (See the operation
manual of your TV.)
• When connecting to a TV via a VCR, turn
on the VCR and set it to the “AV” or
“LINE” input channel. Operate the TV as
you normally do to see the signal from
the VCR. (See the operation manuals of
your TV and VCR.)
4
Set the POWER switch on the
camcorder to VCR, and begin playback
(see pages 26 and 78).
Notes:
• If your TV or VCR has a 21-pin Euro-SCART
connector, use the RCA/21-pin Euro-SCART
conversion connector (QSOCZ0033TAZZ).
• S-video terminals are used to separately pass
the chroma (colour) and luminance (brightness)
components of video signals. They serve to
improve the picture quality in both recording and
playback. If your TV or VCR has an S-video input
terminal, you can use the S-video plug of the
supplied audio/video/S-video cable for the video
connection on the TV or VCR. (The yellow video
plug does not need to be connected to the TV or
VCR.)
• If your TV or VCR has only one audio input jack,
use the white plug for the audio connection on
the TV or VCR.
• When the camcorder is connected to a TV for
play-back, the picture on the TV screen may
flicker if the volume on the camcorder is set to
maximum. Should this occur, turn the volume
down (see page 27).
• Close the terminal cover after use.
Removing the audio/video/S-video
cable from the camcorder
Hold down the catches
and pull out the plug.
Caution:
• Forcibly pulling on the audio/video/S-video cable
without holding down the catches may result in
damage.
