Recording video or TV programmes
Note
Your camcorder only records pictures for viewing on a PAL system based TV and VCR.
See "Using your camcorder abroad" on page 243 for the TV colour systems used in each
country and area.
If your TV or VCR is a monaural type
Connect the yellow plug of the A/V connecting cable to the video output jack and the
white or the red plug to the audio output jack on the VCR or the TV. When the white
plug is connected, the left channel audio is output, and when the red plug is connected,
the right channel audio is output.
If your TV or VCR has an S video jack
Pictures can be reproduced more faithfully by using an S video cable (optional).
With this connection, you do not need to connect the yellow (video) plug of the A/V
connecting cable.
Connect an S video cable (optional) to the S VIDEO jacks of both your camcorder and
the TV or VCR.
This connection produces higher quality DVCAM/DV format pictures.
On index signal
The index is automatically marked on a tape when you start recording. If you mark the
index using the INDEX button during recording, "LINE" appears in the PROG column
on the INDEX SEARCH screen, and the index is recorded on cassette memory.
Note on the Remote Commander
Your camcorder works in the commander mode VTR 2. Commander modes 1, 2 and 3
are used to distinguish your camcorder from other Sony VCRs to avoid erroneous
remote control operation. If you use another Sony VCR in the commander mode VTR 2,
we recommend changing the commander mode or covering the sensor of the VCR with
black paper.
