 A/V connecting cable (supplied)
 A/V connecting cable with S VIDEO 

When connecting to another device via the 
S VIDEO jack, by using the A/V connecting 
cable with an S VIDEO cable (optional), 
pictures can be reproduced more faithfully 
than with the supplied A/V cable connection.
Connect the white and red plugs (left/right 
audio) and S VIDEO plug (S VIDEO 
channel) of an A/V connecting cable 
(optional). In this case, the yellow (standard 
video) plug connection is not necessary. 
S VIDEO connection only will not output 
audio.

 i.LINK cable (optional)

Use an i.LINK cable to connect your 
camcorder to another device. The video 
and audio signals are transmitted digitally, 
producing high quality pictures. 
Note that you cannot output the picture and 
sound separately.

Connect the yellow plug of the A/V 
connecting cable to the video input jack 
and connect the white (left channel) or the 
red (right channel) plug to the audio input 
jack of your TV or VCR.

•  When you connect a device via an A/V 

connecting cable (supplied), set [DISP OUT] 
to [LCD] (the default setting) (p. 47) to prevent 
the screen display dubbed with pictures.
