but it's not so good if you want to burn a DVD for friends ...
Indispensible cable if you need to get sound and/or picture out from a Sony Handycam, such as I own, to an analog monitor. There are limitations, though, which have to do with the camera itself. In the case of the HDR-CX240 camera, at least, the NTSC video is output anamorphically squeezed, with no option to either crop the HD image or render it in letterbox format. That's OK if your monitor lets you adjust aspect ratio on analog signals, but it's not so good if you want to burn a DVD for friends or family to watch on an older 4:3 TV set. Better to stick with the HDMI output of the camera where possible. Still, if you need an analog AV cable with a Handycam for any reason, this appears to be a good quality, durable product.

Great cable!
I purchased this hoping it would help connect my Sony Handycam HDR-CX to my television so that I could record directly from my camera to a DVD through my recording device. This cable accomplishes that so I am very happy that I purchased it. I used it to record our Christmas holiday on a DVD for my family to look at anytime in the future, wherever they are. I highly recommend this product.

Sony doesn't supply this cable with the camera because they want you to enjoy the high quality of the video through the HDMI
I bought this cable for my Sony video camera cx405 , I can now using my DVD-Recorder to make dvds and share them since the dvd recorder doesn't have hdmi input. Sony doesn't supply this cable with the camera because they want you to enjoy the high quality of the video through the HDMI , but they keep it optional for people like me who need to use the dvd recorder . I would recommend it for those who want to use their Dvd recorder the picture quality is not optimum but very good, like the difference between Blu-ray and Dvd.

Does What I Need!
Thanks heavens for Amazon and this company for supplying this cord - which Sony does not provide with the player, I'm transferring a 2 hour concert to my DVD recorder as I type this, and it is working beautifully.I may be behind the times with the computer, as the memory card from the camcoder looks horrible on my computer - so here I can record straight to DVD in real time. Heaven forbid Sony have much of an operation manual to teach editing in its camcorder. But $13 later, a great reliable solution.

A little insurance policy for your Sony camcorder
Handy little cord to send an SD signal from the Sony CX900 to another recording device. Could be a lifesaver in cases where the single card in the camcorder turns out to be defective.

I'm very happy with my cable so far
I'm very happy with my cable so far. I have not really had much time to use it yet. But it did work on a trial run.
