Hi all

Need help identifying which cable is needed to connect an "old" Sony camcoder (its not the new DV) to my pc.The camcoder has an AC Power Adaptor with one location for video out and one location for Audio out.It also has an RF out RFU adaptor.

PC has the following connections.Aux In (stereo - L - R),Video In (Composite - SVideo) and Firewire.Im using WDM capture software,Cyberlink Powercinema.

If a few pics will help i can get some up.


Thanks for any help/advise.

The location for video and audio out on the camcorder looks like.....????? Have you tried contacting Sony?

I used to have a Sony 8mm camcorder, circa 1987, in NTSC. If I recall correctly, its output options included RF, as yours does, and also had composite video and monaural audio out in RCA sockets. If I still had it and wanted to capture from it, I would use the composite video connection, and connect the mono audio to right audio, left audio, or both channels -- depending on the RCA -> mini plug cable that I could find and untangle from a drawer of old cables.
