If your VCR is a monaural type
Connect the yellow plug of the A/V connecting cable to the video input jack and the
white or the red plug to the audio input jack on the VCR or the TV. When the white
plug is connected, the left channel audio is output, and when the red plug is connected,
the right channel audio is output.
If your VCR has an S video jack
Pictures can be reproduced more faithfully by using an S video cable (optional).
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
VCR.
This connection produces higher quality DV format pictures.
Using the i.LINK cable (DV connecting cable)
Simply connect the i.LINK cable (DV connecting cable) (optional) to DV IN/OUT jack
on your camcorder and to DV IN on the DV products. With a digital-to-digital
connection, video and audio signals are transmitted in digital form for high-quality
editing. You can not dub the titles, display indicators, the contents of cassette memory
or letters on the Memory Stick index screen (except DCR-TRV16).
Set the input selector on the VCR to the DV input position if the VCR is equipped with
the input selector.
(1) Insert a blank tape (or a tape you want to record over) into the VCR, and insert
the recorded tape into your camcorder.

instructions of the VCR.
