CONNECTION TO A STANDARD TV

Use the following procedure to connect the camcorder to a TV that only
has VHF and UHF input terminals:

1.  Remove the cover from the camcorder's AUDIO/VIDEO IN/OUT jack compart-
    ment.

2.  Connect the supplied RF converter's multipin plug to the camcorder's
    VIDEO, RF DC OUT, AUDIO jack, and set A/V to OUT.

3.  Disconnect the VHF antenna/cable wire from your TV and connect that
    wire to the RF converter's IN FROM ANT jack.

    If your antenna wire is the flat, 300-ohm type, use the supplied
    matching transformer.

4.  Using the supplied coaxial cable, connect the RF converter's OUT TO
    TV jack to the TV's VHF antenna terminal.

    If your TV only has 300-ohm screw terminals for VHS, connect a
    matching transformer (available at your Radio Shack) between the
    coaxial cable and TV's antenna terminals.

5.  Set the converter's CHANNEL switch to Channel 3 or 4.

6.  Set the TV's tuner to the same channel as the converter's CHANNEL
    switch.

You do not have to disconnect the RF converter when you watch TV
broadcasts.  When you turn on the camcorder, its signals are sent to the
TV.  Set the TV's tuner as usual.

Note to CATV system installer:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention
to Article 820-22 of the National Electrical Code that provides guide-
lines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable
ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as
close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Precautions:

  Use the supplied RF converter only with this camcorder.

  The RF converter is a sealed unit.  Do not attempt to open or modify
  it.

  Do not damage or drop the converter or subject it to mechanical
  vibration.

  Unplug the RF converter during lightning storms.


CONNECTION TO A TV MONITOR

A TV monitor is a TV that has separate audio/video inputs.  Connect the
camcorder to such a TV as follows:

NOTE:  Use a video-quality shielded cable with phono connectors.  Do not
       use standard audio cable.

1.  Set A/V to OUT.

2.  Connect an audio/video cable's yellow phono plug to the camcorder's
    VIDEO jack and white phono plug to the AUDIO jack.

3.  Connect the other end of the audio/video cable to the TV's input
    jacks - yellow to video and white to the audio.

    If your TV monitor is stereo, use a Y-adapter to connect the white
    plug to both audio inputs.

4.  Set the TV to the video mode to watch playback from the camcorder.


PLAYBACK

After you connect the camcorder to your TV or TV monitor, play a tape as
follows:

1.  Turn on the TV.  Set the camcorder's power switch to VCR.

2.  Insert a pre-recorded tape into the camcorder.

3.  Prepare the TV to receive the camcorder signals-set your standard TV
    to Channel 3 or 4, or set your TV monitor to the video mode.

4.  Press PLAY on the camcorder.

Press STOP to end playback and press EJECT to remove the tape.
