Connecting The Camcorder To A Tv / Hdtv - Vivitar DVR 948HD User Manual

Connecting the Camcorder to a TV / HDTV

The camcorder has an AV/HDMI port to use your larger TV screen in place of the camcorder's LCD
screen. On plugging the supplied TV-out cable to the camcorder's AV out or HDMI cable to the HDMI
port (HDMI cable purchased separately) and then to the TV/HDTV, the LCD screen turns blank. Use
the camcorder as you would normally to capture and playback photos and videos. The images will
appear on the TV instead of on the LCD screen. The only limitation of using the TV screen is that the
camcorder is connected to the television and is now not portable.
CONNECTING TO A TV WITH THE AV CABLE
1. Connect the supplied AV cable from your camcorder to your TV:
- Connect the smaller, black end of the cable to the camcorder's USB port.

- Connect the white jack into the TV – Audio port. Connect the camcorder to a TV via the TV-out
cable (supplied).
