Using the Remote Commander
In step 3, press z REC and MARK
simultaneously, then immediately press X. And
in step 5, press X at the scene where you want to
start recording from.
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 remote control misoperation. 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.
If your 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 the red plug is
connected, the right channel audio is output.
If your TV or VCR has an S video jack
Connect using an S video cable (optional) to
obtain high-quality pictures.
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 DV
format pictures.
