Camcorder Connections
S-VHS or Standard VHS Camcorder
(This connection allows you to play back tapes in the camcorder and watch them on the TV.)
AV OUT Jack
(Audio/Video Out)
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 1 jack on the back of your TV. With either
video connection, attach the audio cable to the INPUT 1
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 you
select Channel 90. Be sure to connect the video cable if you plan to use

similar device) that is connected to the TV's INPUT 1 or 2

The TV must remain turned on during recording. If you change
channels on 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 1 jacks and another
camcorder (or VCR) to the INPUT 2 jacks, you'll be able to
