Customer reviews

Definitely Cheaper on eBay
Go to eBay and spend about half the price for the equivalent cable NOT made by Sony. This way the bozos at Sony aren’t making a dime off of you for their not-necessary-to-be proprietary cable and you still get what you need. I got this for my HDR-HC3 video camera for playback on my TV.

Sony VMC15FS A/V Cable
Hate the fact that Sony has a special cable for its camcorders but I bought this OEM cable for a great price.

Replacement Cord
SONY has manufactured their cord with a propreitary connection so that you have to order directly from them. Most cords can be purchased for about $7 locally in stores but SONY’s has to be ordered. Amazon had the best price on this item and it works great but it is annoying that you have to purchase a SONY original part.

S-Video works BOTH directions (play or record)
This cable works fine for my Sony DCR-DVD403 Handycam. I can play and record in S-Video with this cable. The key is to change the setting in the camera so that it uses S-Video instead of the default composite video connection. I found this in my Handycam’s user manual.

It works exactly as it should. Perhaps this is not the case for all Sony Handycams.

5 stars if Sony mentions S-video in minidv specification
To the previous poster, the manual tells you what is accepted and what is not.
