There are other reasons for this terrible idea.//static.avforums.com/styles/avf/smilies/facepalm.gif If, as I suspect, the camera is "pre-owned" (hate that expression) then the mechanics of the tape drive and the read/write heads could be worn and will give trouble at a later date. I also think it is significant that one supplier, of the cable you want, has discontinued the supply.
I ditched my Canon HV20 back in 2010 for that reason and have used SD card cameras from then on. Apart from the reasons above, SD cards, which are cheap and do not deteriorate like tapes, can be easily read in a PC, plusmost cameras now have HDMI outputs to connect directly into modern TVs.
Sorry to be so negative.data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
