Connecting an Optional Preview Monitor
As mentioned before, you can connect a TV monitor to your output device if the monitor
and the device have compatible connections.
1. Connect an RCA video cable (yellow) or S-Video cable (black) from the Video Out con-
nector on the analog camcorder or VCR to the corresponding Video In connector on
the TV monitor.
2. Connect an RCA audio cable (red and white) from the Audio Out connector on the back
of camcorder or VCR to the Audio In connector on the TV monitor.
Note: Your audio cable may have separate connectors for left and right, or the connec-
tors might be joined as shown in the illustration below. Remember that you need to
use a Y-adapter if the analog camcorder or VCR only supports mono output.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the TV monitor is set up properly to receive a video sig-
nal. It might need to be set to “Line In,” “L1,” “L2,” “Aux” or a similar channel. Check
the monitor’s documentation for specific details.
Note: If the TV monitor does not support the kinds of cables shown below, you might
be able to connect it using a coaxial cable. Many VCRs and most TVs have this kind of
connector, and many VCRs come with a coaxial cable.
Connecting the TV monitor to the output device results in the configuration shown below.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the camcorder or VCR and TV monitor are set up properly to
receive a video signal. It might be necessary to set a camcorder to VTR mode, while a
VCR or monitor might need to be set to “Line In,” “L1,” “L2,” “Aux” or a similar channel.
Or, if a monitor is connected to a VCR with a coaxial cable, you might need to set the
monitor to channel 3 or 4. Check each device’s documentation for specific details.
