Connecting Accessory Devices to Your TV
T
he side panel jacks provide a convenient way
for you to connect a camcorder to your TV.
The side panel jacks are recognized by your TV
as AV3.
You can obtain S-VIDEO quality with an S-VHS,
Hi-8, or digital camcorder by connecting to the
S-VIDEO input instead of the VIDEO (composite)
input.
To make the connections shown in this example,
you will need:
• an S-VIDEO cable
• two cables for audio connections (standard
RCA connectors).
NOTE: The cables are not supplied with your TV.
You should be able to buy them at most stores
that sell electronics. Or you can call our
Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.
1
Connect from the S-VIDEO output on
the camcorder to the S-VIDEO input in
the TV's side panel.
2
Connect from the AUDIO outputs on
the camcorder to the side panel AUDIO
L(eft) and R(ight) inputs.
3
Press the AV button on the remote con-
trol as many times as necessary to select
the AV3 source on the TV.
4
Turn the camcorder on, insert a video-
tape and press PLAY to view the tape
on the TV.

To simplify making connections, the con-
nectors on audio cables are often color
coded: red for the right channel, and white
for the left channel. The jacks on your TV
are likewise color coded to match the con-
nectors. To make S-Video connections, you
must use an S-Video cable.
