Front of the DVD/VCR

COPY – Shortcut to transfer tapes (VCR) to disc (DVD), which is great for converting your camcorder recordings that are on videocassette tape to a DVD disc.When you have a recordable DVD+R or DVD+RW disc in the DVD disc tray and a videocassette tape in the VCR, press COPY (the VCR starts playing and the DVD/VCR starts recording automatically).

STANDBY/ON – Turns the DVD/VCR on and off.

VCR Buttons

RECORD – Records to a videocassette tape.

STOP/EJECT – When playing a tape, stops playback.When tape isn’t playing, ejects the tape.

REV – Rewinds the tape

FWD – Fast forwards the tape

PLAY/PAUSE – Starts playback. During playback, pauses playback.

INPUT – Just like a TV has Video Input Channels (page 19), the DVD/VCR has one Video Input Channel for each set of INPUT jacks.The Video Input Channel is the “channel” to which you tune the DVD/VCR so you can see the picture and hear the sound that’s coming from the component that is connected to the DVD/VCR’s INPUT jacks. For example, if you connected your camcorder to the Audio and Video Input jacks on the front of the DVD/VCR, you would press the INPUT button until INPUT 2- Front appears.

DVD Buttons

CH-/SKIP- (channel down/skip reverse) – Goes to the previous channel in the channel list when you’re watching TV.When playing a disc, goes to the beginning of the current chapter or track unless you’re within the first minute of a chapter or the first 15 seconds of a track—then, you’ll skip to the beginning of the preceding chapter or track.

CH+/SKIP+ (channel up/skip forward) – Goes to the next channel in the channel list when you’re watching TV.When playing a disc, goes to the beginning of the next title, chapter, or track on a disc (in effect,“skipping” the title, chapter, or track).

OPEN/CLOSE – Opens and closes the disc tray.

RECORD – Records content to a DVD disc (DVD+R or DVD+RW discs only).

STOP – Stops playback and/or recording.

REV (reverse) – Searches backwards through the disc.

FWD (forward) – Searches forwards through a disc.

PLAY/PAUSE – Starts playback of a disc. Pauses recording or playback.

Front Input Jacks:

INPUT 2: Audio/Video jacks – These Input jacks are provided for convenience when you’re connecting a temporary component, such as a camcorder.

S-VIDEOIf a component you’re connecting, such as a camcorder, has an S-Video Output jack connect it to this jack for picture quality that is better than regular video (yellow). Remember, you still have to connect audio cables to hear sound.

DV IN – This jack is provided when you’re connecting a DV camcorder through a IEEE 1394 Firewire connection.
