NOTES:
●
It is recommended to use the AC Adapter as the
power supply instead of the battery pack
(
Z pg. 7).
● If your VCR has an S-Video input connector,
connect the camcorder and the VCR using the
provided S-Video cable. This can improve the
dubbed picture quality (GR-SXM607/SXM57/
SXM47/SX202/SX22 only).
● To monitor the picture and sound from the
camcorder without inserting a tape, set the
camcorder’s Power Switch to “
” or “ ”, then
set your TV to the appropriate input mode.
● Make sure you adjust the TV sound volume to its
minimum level to avoid a sudden burst of sound
when the camcorder is turned on.
● If you have a TV or speakers that are not specially
shielded, do not place the speakers adjacent to the
TV as interference will occur in the camcorder
playback picture.
● To view the playback picture on a connected
SECAM TV or dub a tape to a SECAM VCR, set
“VIDEO OUT” to “SECAM” (French model only,
Z pg. 9).
