Notes
•To enable smooth transition, we recommend that you do not mix pictures recorded in
the Hi8/standard 8 with the Digital8 system on a tape.
•If you use fast-forward or slow-playback mode on the other (playback) VCR, the
image being recorded may fluctuate. When you record from the other (playback)
VCR, be sure to play back the original tape at normal speed.
If the other (playback) VCR or TV is a monaural type
Connect the yellow plug of the A/V connecting cable to the video output jack and the
white plug to the audio output jack on the VCR or the TV. (Do not connect the red
plug.) The sound is monaural.
If your TV or the other (playback) VCR has an S video jack
Connect using an S video cable (not supplied) to obtain high-quality pictures.
With this connection, you do not need to connect the yellow (video) plug of the A/V
connecting cable.

VCR and the TV or the other (playback) VCR.
