Playing The Image On A Tv - Sony HANDYCAM DCR-SR40 Handbook

Playing the image on a TV

Connect your camcorder to the input jack of TV or VCR using A/V connecting cable 1 or
A/V connecting cable with S VIDEO 2. Connect your camcorder to the wall outlet using the
supplied AC Adaptor for this operation (p.17). Refer also to the instruction manuals supplied
with the devices to be connected.
• To view the recorded images on a computer, see page 77.
A/V jack
1 A/V connecting cable (supplied)
The Handycam Station and your camcorder are
both equipped with A/V jacks (p.76). Connect
the A/V connecting cable either to the
Handycam Station or to your camcorder,
according to your setup.
2 A/V connecting cable with S VIDEO
(optional)
When connecting to another device via the S
VIDEO jack, by using an A/V connecting cable
with an S VIDEO cable (optional), higher
quality images can be produced than with an
A/V connecting cable. Connect the white and
red plug (left/right audio) and the S VIDEO
plug (S VIDEO channel) of the A/V connecting
cable with an S VIDEO cable (optional). The
yellow plug connection is not necessary. S
VIDEO connection only will not output audio.
• You can display the counter on the TV screen by
setting [DISP OUTPUT] to [V-OUT/PANEL]
(p.63).
• Do not connect A/V connecting cables to both
your camcorder and the Handycam Station at the
same time. The image might get disturbed.
