Hi all!
So I have tons of old home videos that I’m trying to show my boyfriend who’s visiting. I have a Sony Handycam, Model CCS-TR96 that was probably purchased circa 1990 (ancient, I know). I used to watch the videos by hooking up the camera to the TV easily, but that was at least 5-6 year ago and before my current Led TV. The camera itself works fine, and I can view the videos on the camcorder itself on playback mode.

My TV is Samsung Led, Model Number:UN50EH5000FXZA - also known as a Series 45 (4000, 4050, 5000, 5050, 5070). Link to the manual is here: http

I have a couple problems but I’ll start with this. The camcorder has the old A/V connecting cable, which ONLY has the black and yellow plugs. (Not even the full RCA plugs with yellow for video, and red and white for audio).
See a photo of the user manual to see what I mean: http

From reading other threads, I’ve seen that suggestions that point to a 3.5mm mini-to-RCA cable, like this one: http

However, the Black cable IS an RCA cable, it’s not a 3.5mm, so I’m back to square 1.
Secondly, the back panel of my TV looks like this. Image: http

/)
There is a place for the yellow A/V cable, but the black one does not have a space. I assume I would need something that would split the black cable into a red and white cable, for left and right audio????
Third - I don’t know if this is important, but I have a Verizon Fios Set-Top Cable Box (Model: Motorola 7100-P2 HD) that currently plugs into the back of the TV, taking up must of the component plugs. Is it ok to unplug that - will it affect my ability to play the videos, or no because I wouldn’t be using the TV connection anyway?
Lastly - if it is of any assistance, I do have a DVD player accessible, if hooking that up would be of any benefit (?)
ANY help is much appreciated! I have no idea what to do.
