CONNECTING THE CAMCORDER TO A TV
USING A TV FOR PLAYBACK
There are many different types of TVs and ways
to connect them to your camcorder. This section
describes the most common set ups.
Notes:
• If your TV doesn’t match any of the exam-
ples provided, contact your local Radio
Shack store for assistance.
• Turn off power to the camcorder and TV
when making connections. Do not power
the camcorder until you complete all other
connections.
TV with Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
If your TV has audio/video (A/V) input jacks, you
can connect your camcorder directly to the TV
so you can play and watch video tapes.
If your TV does not have audio/video jacks, see
“Standard TV” on Page 33.
Use video quality shielded cables with phono-
type connectors (such as Cat. No. 15-1540, not
supplied) to connect the camcorder’s
AUDIO/
VIDEO IN/OUT jacks to your TV’s input jacks.
Note: Do not use standard audio cables for this
connection.
Follow these steps to connect the camcorder to
the TV.
1. Use a fingernail to pull down the cover on
the camcorder’s AUDIO/VIDEO OUT/IN jack
compartment to open it.
Caution: The cover on the AUDIO/VIDEO
OUT/IN jack compartment is attached to the
camcorder. Do not try to remove it.
2. Connect the white plug on one end of the
cable to the camcorder’s AUDIO jack, then
connect the yellow plug on the same end of
the cable to the camcorder’s
VIDEO jack.
3. Connect the white plug on the other end of
the cable to the TV’s AUDIO IN jack. If your
TV is a stereo TV, use a Y-adapter (such as
Cat. No. 42-2435) to connect the white plug
to both audio inputs. Then connect the yel-
low plug on the same end of the cable to
the TV’s VIDEO IN jack.
4. Set AV OUT/IN inside the AUDIO/VIDEOOUT/
IN jack compartment to OUT .
