Connecting an Optional Preview Monitor
You can connect a TV monitor to your output device if the monitor and the device have
compatible connections.
1. Connect an RCA video cable (yellow) or S-Video cable (black) from the Video Out con-
nector on the camcorder or VCR to the corresponding Video In connector on the TV
monitor.
2. Connect an RCA audio cable (red and white) from the Audio Out connector on the back
of camcorder or VCR to the Audio In connector on the monitor.
Note: Your audio cable may have separate connectors for left and right, or the connec-
tors might be joined as shown in the illustration below. Remember that you need to
use a Y-adapter if the analog camcorder or VCR only supports mono output.
If the TV monitor does not suppor t the kinds of cables shown below, you might be able
to connect it using a coaxial cable. Many VCRs and most TVs have this kind of connec-
tor, and many VCRs come with a coaxial cable.
Connecting the monitor to the output device results in the configuration shown below.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the camcorder or VCR and monitor are set up properly to
receive a video signal. It might be necessar y to set a camcorder to VTR mode, while a
VCR or monitor might need to be set to “Line In,” “L1,” “L2,” “Aux” or a similar channel.
Or, if a monitor is connected to a VCR with a coaxial cable, you might need to set the
monitor to channel 3 or 4. Check each device’s documentation for specific details.
