Sony VMC15FS A/V Cable for most Sony MiniDV and DVD Camcorders

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.

The Sony VMC15FS AV Cable is a very nice cable that is used on several Sony Camcorders. My Camcorder is the Sony DCR-HC28. This cable allows you to transfer Audio and Video from the camcorder to your VCR, TV, or an external DVD Recorder. This cable may do more things that I am not aware of as I have never used the "S" cable that is part of this cable.

The Sony VMC15FS A/V Cable for most Sony MiniDV & DVD Camcorders does the same thing that the Sony 18231661 AV Cable does plus it has an S-video cable added to it.

I have both the Sony 18231661 AV Cable and the Sony VMC15FS A/V Cable. Both cables are great but if I had to choose it would depend on if I used the "S" cable portion of the Sony VMC15FS A/V Cable and if I did I would pick the Sony VMC15FS A/V Cable.

If I didn't use the "S" cable I would pick the Sony 18231661 AV Cable. I have both cables and recommend both cables.

Buy Sony VMC15FS A/V Cable for most Sony MiniDV and DVD Camcorders Now

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.

When trying to make a DVD using my Sony Handycam and my Sony Multifunction DVD Recorder I discovered, after studying both manuals, that I was going to need this cable (Sony VMC15FS). I went to Walmart and Circuit City and couldn't find it. Then I went to Radio Shack and was told that I won't find it in a store it's a specific item that only Sony sells...I'd have to order it from Sony. So I went on line and found it and ordered it, and, indeed, it does exactly what it's supposed to do. Ordinarily, I'd give it a 5-star rating, but I'm only giving it a 4-star because it's so difficult to obtain.

I specifically plugged in my camcorder model number to be sure I located the proper cord, and this is the one Amazon identified for me. I took for granted they knew what they were talking about. Very disappointed.
