    Hi there guys,

    I have an old VHS camcorder which i want to connect upto my HD TV. The camcorder only has one connection socket which says AV OUT. It also has an accessory with it which says RF Unit.

    I have attached pictures. Any help on which cables i require to connect the camcorder upto the TV to view the video will be greatly appreciated.

    Regards

    RF out on the JVC box to ANT IN?
    Should be an old "Wall to TV/VCR" cable like the Old Days.

    We still use those here in Germany. Ours are one-way as opposed to US threaded two way.

    After you connected the RF OUT to your TV's Ant In, did you tune your TV to pick up the channel?

    Yeah, push the switch on the "JVC RF Unit" to "Video" and tune to channel 3 or 4. Assuming Euro stuff works similarly to Yankee stuff.

    May also have to change between "antenna" and "cable" in the TV's menu?
