75-ohm 300-ohm
To connect the camcorder to a standard TV
(with only VHF and UHF terminals), you need an
RF adapter kit (CMC No. T16-RF71A, not sup-
plied). The RF adapter kit includes:
• RF converter
• 300-to 75-ohm matching transformer
• 75-ohm antenna cable
Cautions:
• Use only the recommended RF adapter kit
with this camcorder. You can order the kit
from your local Radio Shack store.
• The RF converter is a sealed unit. Do not
attempt to open or modify it.
• Do not damage or drop the RF converter or
subject it to mechanical vibration.
• Unplug the RF converter during lightning
storms.
Notes:
• You do not have to disconnect the RF con-
verter when you watch TV broadcasts. Sim-
ply set the TV's tuner as usual.
• Unless your antenna is VHF-only (you
receive Channels 2-13 only), you also need
a band-splitter (such as Cat. No. 15-1252,
not supplied) to connect your camcorder to
separate TV VHF/UHF terminals.
1. Use a fingernail to pull down the cover on
the camcorder's
AUDIO/VIDEO OUT/IN
compartment to open it.
Caution: The cover on the
jack compartment is attached to the
OUT/IN
camcorder. Do not try to remove it.
2. Connect the RF converter's plug to the
camcorder's ,

verter's jack:
