the VCR or camcorder:  
1. Connecting a VCR  
VCRs usually include either an S-video or RCA (depending on  
your VCR) video cable with the same connector on both ends,  
to allow connection of the VCR to a Television set. Please use  
this cable to connect your VCR to the USB VideoBus.  
1. Connect the Yellow RCA or S-video connector on one end  
of the audio/video cable to the "Video Out" connector on  
the VCR. Connect the Yellow RCA or S-Video connector on  
the other end of the Audio/Video cable to the appropriate  
connector on the USB VideoBus.  
2. If you want to capture sound as well, connect the Red and  
White RCA connectors on the included VideoBusaudio  
cable to the left and right "Audio Out" connectors of the  
VCR. Connect the mini-stereo plug on the VideoBusaudio  
cable to the microphone jack on the iMac, G3 or G4.  
2. Connecting a Camcorder  
If your camcorder has RCA Video and Audio out connectors,  
please refer to the instructions above for connecting a VCR.  
1. Most camcorders use a custom cable for Video and Audio  
output. Using the cable included with your camcorder,  
connect either the S-Video or Yellow RCA connector to the  
Yellow RCA connector on the Belkin USB VideoBus.
