FCP playback from timeline on NTSC

I'm using my DVX100a as a VCR deck... I have no problem capturing clips into FCP HD on the Mac G5, and I can see what I'm capturing on both the computer monitor and ntsc monitor...... but when I go to playback, I can only see the clips in the computer monitor and NOT my NTSC... What configuration or setting am I missing? My current setup is..... DVX camera firewire to MAC G5 tower... RCA plugs (video and audio) between DVX camera and television monitor.

Thanks,
Jeff

Oops... I forgot to say... clips on the timeline in FCP will show up on my computer monitor, but not my NTSC monitor...

View - External Video - All Frames... Video Output... NTSC Firewire.

Good luck,

Re: FCP playback from timeline on NTSC

Thanks....

Still no luck.... I went under "view" - External Video - all frames....

and "view" Video output... NTSC Firewire....

Same as before... I can capture... and see video in playback on the computer, but not the NTSC monitor.... Am I missing skipping a camera setting? It's currently set on vcr.
The firewire cable is the 4-6 pin in the front port of the G5 and into the panel on the camera... The RCA cables are plugged into the camera and the NTSC monitor.....

Make sure your camera is on and in VCR mode.
Go to View -> Refresh External Devices.
Double check your A/V prefs and make sure you have Firewire set (and correct DV NTSC) and not Desktop Cinema set.
Check your camera LCD to see if the signal is getting there.
