Watching Playback on a TV
Available modes:
TAPE-VCR, CARD-VCR
You can connect the camcorder to a TV to
allow a larger audience to enjoy playback.
1 Open the jack cover on the camcorder (see
page 2).
2 Connect the camcorder to your TV (or
VCR) with the supplied audio/video/S-
video cable, as shown.
Caution:
• Check that the camcorder, TV, VCR and other
equipment to be used are turned off before making
any connections. Picture noise or malfunction may
occur if any of the above is left on while making a
connection.
3 Turn on the TV and set it to the “AV” or
“VIDEO” channel. (See the operation
manual of your TV.)
• When connecting to a TV via a VCR, turn
on the VCR and set it to the “AV” or “LINE”
input channel. Operate the TV as you
normally do to view the signal from the
VCR. (See the operation manuals of your
TV and VCR.)
4 Set the Power switch on the camcorder to
VCR, and begin playback (see page 23).
Notes:
• If your TV or VCR has a 21-pin Euro-SCART
connector, use the RCA/21-pin Euro-SCART
conversion connector (QSOCZ0033TAZZ).

About the S-video socket
S-video sockets are used to separately pass
the chroma (colour) and luminance (bright-
ness) components of video signals. They serve
to improve the picture quality in both recording
and playback.

• If your TV or VCR has only one audio input jack, use
the white plug for the audio connection on the TV or
VCR.
• If your TV or VCR has an S-video input socket, you
do not need to connect the yellow video plug.
• When the camcorder is connected to a TV for
playback, the picture on the TV screen may flicker if
the volume on the camcorder is set to maximum.
Should this occur, turn the volume down (see page
24).
• Close the jack cover after use.
