You will need the RF output adapter

packed with your camcorder. If your
antenna cable is the flat twin-lead

you will also need the 300/ 75-ohm
transformer.

leave the UHF wires alone.)
(T) Connect your VHF antenna to
the RF input adapter. (This step

A. If your antenna cable is a
round 75-ohm cable, connect
it to the
ANT connecter on
the RF adapter.
B. If your antenna cable is a flat
twin-lead, you will need the
300/75-ohm transformer that
was packed in your
camcorder. Connect the flat-
lead connectors to the screw
terminals on the 300/75-ohm
transformer. Then connect the
transformer to the
ANT

coaxial RF cable to the
VHF
terminal on the back of your TV.

terminals, connect the adapter’s
flat-lead connectors to the screw
terminals.)

fitting on the RF adapter into
the ot/r jack on the
camcorder. To aid connection,
match the tabs on the fitting
with the notches on the
camcorder jack. Don’t force the
fitting. If it does not slide in
easily, check your marks and try

as a camera while connected to
the TV, be sure to turn the set’s
volume down to prevent a high-
pitched squeal caused by
feedback.)
Set the switch on the RF adapter
to channel 3 or 4, whichever is
not used as a broadcast channel
in your area. Turn on the TV
and tune it to the channel you
have chosen.

to the TV set. Just disconnect the
adapter from the camcorder or
turn off the camcorder’s power.
