Very helpful as I lost my manual and have had it in storage for a long time. Wanting to view my mini dv tapes so trying to figure out how to connect to a newer TV model…

[@brandoncameracollection]

You’ll have to get an av to hdmi converter like this one and also find a compatible av cable if you do not have the original

@@brandoncameracollection VERY helpful! Thank you! Obviously don’t have the three prong rca on the camcorder. It’s a single female plug like a speakerphone.

[@brandoncameracollection]

@rjoehidalgo yes if I remember right it’s a specific plug in

hey brandon, SP actually stands for standard play and the record times are 60min for sp and 90min for lp

[@brandoncameracollection]

You are right haha idk why I have been calling it short play. But I guess it is the same thing haha
