When connecting to your TV via a VCR
Connect your camcorder to the LINE IN input on the VCR using the A/V connecting cable.
Set the input selector on the VCR to LINE (VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, etc.).
When your TV is monaural (When your TV has only one audio input jack)
Connect the yellow plug of the A/V connecting cable to the video input jack and connect the
white (left channel) or red (right channel) plug to the audio input jack of your TV or VCR.
Notes
When you set [TV TYPE] to [4:3], the image quality may deteriorate. Also, when the recorded image’s
aspect ratio switches between 16:9 (wide) and 4:3, the image may jitter.
On some 4:3 TVs, the still images recorded in 4:3 aspect ratio may not be displayed full screen. This is
not a malfunction.
When you play back an image recorded in 16:9 (wide) aspect ratio on a 4:3 TV not compatible with the
16:9 (wide) signal, set [TV TYPE] to [4:3].
