damage, do not bend or twist the connector or cable.

Unwrap the SeeSnake System Cable from its holder and
match the System Cable plug to the matching SeeSnake

. To join the con-
nectors, align the guide pin to the guide socket, push the
connector straight in and tighten the outer locking sleeve.
NOTE! A guide ridge molded into the top of the cable
connector will point up when the plug is correctly
aligned.
External Monitor Options
1. The DVD
Pak
may be used with an external SeeSnake
monitor by connecting an RCA cable found in the
pouch attached to the shoulder strap, from the Video
Out port on the monitor. Connect the other end of the
cable to the yellow DVD
Pak
video input port on the
back of the DVD
Pak
, marked with .
2. The A/V out port
will pass through live video
from the camera and live audio from the microphone
out to another DVDR or monitor. (If connected to a
monitor which has speakers it may cause a feedback
squeal; this can be prevented by muting the micro-
phone with the Mute Switch).
The A/V out port does not transmit recorded video or
audio output from the Sony DVDR.
