Follow the steps below if you have a
standard 'IV that does not have
AUDIO/ VIDEO input jacks. Refer to
page 39 if you have a monitor/
receiver with input jacks. [_)
You will need the RF output adapter
and coaxial RF cable that came
packed with your camcorder. If your
antenna cable is the flat twin-lead
type that is attached by two screws,
you will also need the 300/75-ohm
transformer. Q
Q Disconnect the VHF antenna
from your TV set. (You can
leave the UHF wires alone.)
O Connect your VHF antenna to
the RF input adapter. (This step
is not necessary unless you plan
to leave the RF adapter hooked
up to your TV set.)
A. If your antenna cable is a
round 75-ohm cable, connect
it to the ANT connecter on
the RF adapter.
B. If your antenna cable is a flat
twin-lead, you will need the
300/75-ohm transformer that
was packed in your
camcorder. Connect the flat-
lead connectors to the screw
terminals on the 300/75-ohm
transformer. Then connect the
transformer to the ANT
connector on the RF adapter.

Attach one end of the coaxial
RF cable to the TV connector on
the RF adapter.
Connect the other end of the
coaxial RF cable to the VHF
terminal on the back of your TV.
(If your TV has VHF screw
terminals, connect the adapter's
flat-lead connectors to the screw
terminals.)
Plug the multi-pin connector
fitting on the RF adapter into
the AV OUTjack on the
camcorder. To aid connection,
match the tabs on the fitting
with the notches on the
camcorder jack. Don't force the
fitting. If it does not slide in
easily, check your marks and try
again. (If the camcorder is used
as a camera while connected to
the TV, be sure to turn the set's
volume down to prevent a high-
pitched squeal caused by
feedback.)
Set the switch on the RF adapter
to channel 3 or 4, whichever is
not used as a broadcast channel
in your area. Turn on the TV
and tune it to the channel you
have chosen.
Q_) During playback, you may fine
tune the TV channel if necessary.
(For details of playback
operation, refer to page 40.)
For normal TV viewing, you may
leave the RF adapter hooked up
to the TV set. Just disconnect the
adapter from the camcorder or
turn off the camcorder's power.
