How to Record on the
Camcorder from a TV (or VCR)
1. A. Camcorder connected directly to
TV monitor: Turn on the TV, and
tune it to the channel you want to
record.
B. Camcorder connected to a VCR
that is already connected to a TV:
Turn on VCR and select channel
you want to record, or place the
cassette you want to copy in the
VCR. If you are copying a tape,
press the PLAY button on the VCR.
Note: If you want to see what is being
recorded, turn on the TV, and tune it to
the channel you normally use to see the
signal from the VCR.
Installation

white plug to the AUDIO OUT jack on
the TV or VCR.

and right AUDIO OUT jacks, attach the
plug to the one labeled MONO. If one of
the jacks is not labeled MONO, you may
need a Y-adapter to record both channels.

yellow plug to the VIDEO OUT jack
on the TV or VCR.
3 Attach the plug on the other end of the
audio/video input cable to the AV
IN/OUT connector behind the small
cover on the front of the camcorder.
(Match the tabs on the plug with the
notches on the camcorder connector.
Do not force the plug.)

to the CAMERA position, place the
ON/POWERSAVE lever in the ON
position, and insert a blank cassette.
Press the camcorder’s thumb trigger to
start recording.

finished.
