Viewing What the Camcorder Is
Recording
1. Turn on the TV and tune it to channel
3 or 4. When the camcorder is used as
a camera, turn the TV’s volume down
to prevent a high-pitched squeal
caused by feedback.
2. Set the CH3/CH4 switch on the
adapter to the same channel you
selected on the TV.
3. Slide the camcorder’s POWER switch
to the CAMERA position, and insert
the cassette you want to record on.
Make sure the ON/POWERSAVE lever
is in the ON position. Press the thumb
trigger to start recording. You can
watch what you are recording on the
TV screen.
Normal TV Viewing
For normal TV viewing, you may leave
the RF output adapter hooked up to the
TV. Just disconnect the adapter’s plug
from the camcorder, or turn off the
camcorder’s power.
Note to Cable TV Installer
This reminder is provided to call your
attention to Article 820-40 of the National
Electrical Code (Section 54 of Canadian
Electrical Code, Part I), that provides
guidelines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable ground
shall be connected to the grounding system of
the building as close to the point of cable
entry as practical.
Caution: Pause is designed for
momentary interruptions, and should
not be used for an extended period of
time. If the camcorder remains in
the pause mode for more than five
minutes, the camcorder will
automatically move the tape away
from the spinning heads to prevent
excessive tape wear.
