CONNECTING THE CAMCORDER TO A TV

USING A TV FOR PLAYBACK

There are many different types of TVs and ways
to connect them to your camcorder. This section
describes the most common set ups.
Notes:
• If your TV doesn't match any of the exam-
ples provided, contact your local Radio
Shack store for assistance.
• Turn off power to the camcorder and TV
when making connections. Do not power
the camcorder until you complete all other
connections.

TV with Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks

If your TV has audio/video (A/V) input jacks, you
can connect your camcorder directly to the TV
so you can play and watch video tapes.
If your TV does not have audio/video jacks, see
"Standard TV" on Page 33.
Use video quality shielded cables with phono-
type connectors (such as Cat. No. 15-1540, not
supplied) to connect the camcorder's
jacks to your TV's input jacks.
