An S-VHS or standard camcorder can be connected directly to
your TV. If you have an S-VHS camcorder, connect the
S-VIDEO cable to the
S-VIDEO connector on your TV. If you
have a standard VHS camcorder, connect the video cable to the
VIDEO INPUT I
jack on the back of your TV. With either
video connection, attach the audio cable to the
INPUT I
R/MONO
audio jack.
Notes: When the adapter’s S-Video Cable is connected to the
S-VIDEO
connector, the video plug does not have to be connected. However, you
may prefer to plug it in anyway to keep it out of the way. The S-VHS
video will automatically override the
VIDEO INPUT 1
signal when yoii
select Channel 90. Be sure to coimect the video cable; however, for
picture-in-picture viewing or if you plan to use the
SELECT OUT
jacks
for recording. When recording from the
SELECT OUT
jacks, tune to
channel 91 to see the signal from the camcorder. When displaying
picture-in-picture, the TV automatically minimizes any annoying
differences in tint between the small and large picture by electronically
coupling the
S-VIDEO input to the VIDEO 1 input.
Operation:
• If the camcorder is connected to the VIDEO INPUT I jack
(instead of the
S-VIDEO
connector), select channel 91 on the
TV to view whatever the camcorder is playing.
• If the camcorder is connected to the S-VIDEO connector and
INPUT I
audio jack, select channel 90 on the TV to view
whatever the camcorder is playing.

This connection will let you record onto the camcorder
whatever is being displayed on the screen such as a TV
program. You’ll also be able to record signals from a VCR (or
similar device) that is connected to the TV’s
INPUT I ox 2
jacks.

picture or any menus or status displays.
The TV must remain turned on during recording. If you change
channels oh the TV, the channel change will be recorded on the
camcorder tape unless you pause the camcorder during
recording.
You may also want to use this connection to dub or edit VCR
tapes with two or three camcorders (or VCRs). By connecting
one camcorder (or VCR) to the
INPUT I
jacks and another
camcorder (or VCR) to the INPUT2 jacks, you’ll be able to
selectively edit and record whatever is playing on the TV
screen onto a third camcorder (or VCR) connected as shown
here to the
SELECT OUT

to also connect its regular video cable to the VIDEO INPUT 1 jack and
then tune the TV to channel 91.
