2.S-VIDEO output may be used for recording, only when the input is of S- VIDEO type.

HDMI INPUTS 1 and 2 (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

ABOUT HDMI – HDMI is the next-generation all

digital interface for consumer electronics. HDMI enables the secure distribution of high-definition video and multi-channel audio in a single cable. Because digital television (DTV) signals remain in digital format, HDMI assures that pristine high- definition images retain the highest video quality from the source all the way to your television screen.

Use the HDMI input for your external devices such as Set-Top-Boxes or DVD players equipped with an HDMI output connection.
