Hi! My name is Paige. You can see my website at www.porchproductions.net. Today we’re
talking about uses of your mini DV camcorder. Right now, we’re going to talk about how
to actually be able to view what you’ve shot on your camcorder. You want your power
on your camcorder. You’re going to want to switch it from camera to VCR or play. Your
LCD screen, it will go to blue probably. Then we know that we’re on our VCR setting. On
this camcorder, my rewind, my play, my fast forward, and pause buttons here. I want to
rewind my tape and stop it, push in for pause or play. There are several ways that you can
view your audio and video that you’ve captured on your mini DV tape. This is an AV cable.
It’s a 3 prong cable. The red and white are your sound and the yellow ring is your
actual video. Most TVs today come with an AV cable input and your camcorder should have
an AV cable output. So, it’s yellow, white and red. So you want to match and plug in
your yellow to your yellow, your white to your white and your red to your red. Then
you would take the other end and plug in the same to your television. This will be located
either on the front of your television or back of your television. Red to red, white
to white, and yellow to yellow. Again, red and white is sound and yellow is video. Then
you would go back to your tape and you would push play, wherever it is on your camcorder.
Then it will begin to play your segment that you want to view, and then you can rewind
and fast forward utilizing your camcorder kind of as your VCR mode.
