Connecting a VCR or a Video Camera

For detailed instructions on how to record from a VCR or a video camera, see Chapter 3, “Playing and Recording Programs” in the User’s Guide. You must use Audio/Video Input 2 on the Recorder to connect a VCR or a video camera.

Chapter 1 of this guide.

1.Connect a Composite A/V cable from the Audio/Video Output 2 connector on the Recorder to the

2.Connect another Composite A/V cable from the Audio/Video Output connector on the VCR to the Audio/Video Input 2 connector on the Recorder. This will allow you to transfer recordings from video tapes to the Recorder (so you can turn your home videos into DVDs).
