NOTES:
● It is recommended to use the AC Power Adapter/
Charger as the power supply instead of the battery
pack ( pg. 7).
● If your VCR has an S-Video input connector,
connect the camcorder and the VCR using the
provided S-Video cable. This can improve the
dubbed picture quality.
● To monitor the picture and sound from the
camcorder without inserting a tape, set the
camcorder's Power Switch to "CAMERA" ("AUTO"
or "PRO."), then set your TV to the appropriate
input mode.
● Make sure you adjust the TV sound volume to its
minimum level to avoid a sudden burst of sound
when the camcorder is turned on.
● If you have a TV or speakers that are not specially
shielded, do not place the speakers adjacent to the
TV as interference will occur in the camcorder
playback picture.
● Set the video out select switch of the cable adapter
as required:
Y/C : When connecting to a TV or VCR which
accepts Y/C signals and uses an S-Video
cable.
CVBS: When connecting to a TV or VCR which
does not accept Y/C signals and uses an
audio/video cable.
● To view the playback picture on a connected
SECAM TV or dub a tape to a SECAM VCR, set
