Connecting a VCR for Recording

This section explains how to connect a VCR for recording from a TV or another VCR.

Video Connections

•Use an S-Video cable to connect the AV receiver’s S VIDEO 1 OUT jack to an S-Video input on the recording VCR. Use another S-Video cable to connect the AV receiver’s S VIDEO 3 IN jack to an S-Video output on your TV or playback VCR, as shown.

OR

•Use a composite video cable to connect the AV receiver’s V VIDEO 1 OUT jack to a composite video input on the recording VCR. Use another composite video cable to connect the AV receiver’s V VIDEO 3 IN jack to a composite video output on your TV or playback VCR, as shown.

Audio Connections

•Use an analog audio cable to connect the AV receiver’s VIDEO 1 OUT L/R jacks to an audio input on the recording VCR.

•Use an analog audio cable to connect the AV receiver’s VIDEO 3 IN L/R jacks to an audio output on your TV or playback VCR.

Playback from the Recording VCR

To play back a video in the recording VCR via the AV receiver:

•Use an S-Video cable to connect the AV receiver’s S VIDEO 1 IN jack to an S-Video output on the record-

ing VCR.

OR

•Use a composite video cable to connect the AV receiver’s V VIDEO 1 IN jack to a composite video output on the recording VCR.

And use an analog audio cable to connect the AV receiver’s VIDEO 1 IN L/R jacks to an audio output on the recording VCR.

Notes:

•The AV receiver must be turned on for recording. Recording is not possible while it’s in Standby mode.

•If you want to record directly from your TV or play- back VCR to the recording VCR without going through the AV receiver, connect the TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to the recording VCR’s audio and video inputs. See the manuals supplied with your TV and VCR for details.

•Video signals connected to composite video inputs can only be recorded via composite video outputs. If your TV/VCR is connected to a composite video input, the recording VCR must be connected to a com- posite video output. Similarly, video signals con- nected to S-Video inputs can only be recorded via S-Video outputs. If your TV/VCR is connected to an

S-Video input, the recording VCR must be connected to an S-Video output.
