Step 1: Connecting The S-Video Cable
The first thing you want to do is pick up an S-Video cable, which you should be able to find most places that sell camcorders. On the back of your camcorder, find the S-video out jack and plug the S-Video cord into it. Then on the back of your TV find the S-Video in jack and plug the other end of the S-Video cord into it.
Step 2: Connecting The Audio Jacks
You now want to take the audio cord, the one with the red and white ends, and plug it into the audio out jacks on your camcorder, they should be color coded red and white for you. If you do not have audio out jacks you can use the auxiliary out jacks. Locate the audio in jacks on your TV and plug the audio cord into these which should also be color coded for you.
Step 3: Turn Your Equipment On
Turn on both the camcorder and the TV. At this time you also want to turn on a video on the camcorder so that it is playing.
Step 4: Find The Correct Channel On Your TV
Next you want to turn on your TV and find the channel that you have plugged your camcorder in to. You may have to press the source or input button on the remote to find the correct channel. This is why you want to have your camcorder playing, so you will automatically know when you find the right channel.
Step 5: Sit Back And Enjoy!
Enjoy your videos! You can also, at this point, make copies of the videos using your VCR or DVD Recorder if you have one and are interested. If this is something of interest to you but you don’t know how to use a DVD Recorder, check out my instructions on how to use one when copying from a VCR to a DVD, it is the same process.
