Recording video or TV programs
If your TV or VCR is a monaural type
Connect the yellow plug of the A/V connecting cable to the video output jack and the
white or the red plug to the audio output jack on the VCR or the TV. When the white
plug is connected, the left channel audio is output, and when the red plug is connected,
the right channel audio is output.
If your TV or VCR has an S video jack
Pictures can be reproduced more faithfully by using an S video cable.
With this connection, you do not need to connect the yellow (video) plug of the A/V
connecting cable.
Connect an S video cable to the S video jacks of both your camcorder and the TV or
VCR. This connection produces higher quality MICROMV format pictures.
When using the i.LINK cable
Simply connect the i.LINK cable to the i.LINK (MICROMV Interface) of your camcorder
and to the i.LINK (MICROMV Interface) of the MICROMV product. With digital-to-
digital connection, video and audio signals are transmitted in digital form for high-
quality editing. (You cannot connect the camcorder to a DV product.)
