Connecting a VCR or DVD Recorder for Recording

If you have two video recorders (e.g., a VCR and a DVD recorder), connect one recorder to the VIDEO 1 OUT jacks, as shown here, and connect the other recorder to the VIDEO 2 OUT jacks in the same way.

Step 1: Video Connection

Choose a video connection that matches your VCR or DVD recorder ( A or B ), and then make the connection. The video source to be recorded must be connected to the AV receiver via the same type of connection.

Step 2: Audio Connection

Choose an audio connection that matches your VCR or DVD recorder ( a or b ), and then make the connection.
