Using other types of video output

This recorder has standard (composite), S-video and component video outputs. The main difference between them is the quality of the picture. S-video delivers a better picture than composite video, while component video gives better picture quality still. The variety of outputs also gives you the flexibility of connecting your particular equipment using the best connection type available.

1 Connecting using an S-video output

S-video carries the picture as separate color and luminance (brightness) signals.

There are two S-video outputs for connection to TVs, monitors, VCRs or other equipment.

Use an S-video cable (not supplied) to connect an S-VIDEO OUTPUT (1 or 2) to an S-video input on your TV, monitor (or other equipment).

2Connecting using the component video output

Component video carries the picture as two separate color signals, plus a luminance (brightness) signal.

See also Component Video Out on page 74 for how to set up the component video output for use with a progressive scan-compatible TV.

Use a component video cable (not supplied) to connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to a component video input on your TV, monitor (or other equipment).
