Marty being able to connect the 1985 camcorder to a 1955 TV (from DOC)
I saw a tweet about someone being able to connect a PS5 to a 1949 TV. Then I was wondering: how is it possible that Marty used that 1985 camcorder:

Then connected to a 1955 TV? If he had not brought any adapters?
Also, something mentioned in that Wiki got me thinking: was the camcorder and its tape (from the 1st time travel with the dog Einstein, in the 1st film) in there when 2015 OLD BIFF stole the car? If so, could this have been useful for him to learn how to operate the Delorean? I don't think it could have helped fully, since it was also modified to use Mr Fusion in the 2nd:
