Connecting a VCR

You can connect a VCR to the DVD recorder’s IN-EXT 2 and OUT 2 sockets.

If you have an S-VHS VCR, you could connect the DVD recorder’s S-VIDEOoutput to an S-Video input on the VCR, and connect the DVD recorder’s AUDIO L/R outputs to analog audio inputs on the VCR.

Notes

Most prerecorded video cassettes and DVDs are copy protected. If you try to copy them, the message “COPY PROT” will appear on the DVD recorder’s display.

If the DVD recorder displays the message “NO SIGNAL” when copying a video cassette:

•Check that the cables are connected securely.

•Try adjusting the VCR’s tracking function.

•The DVD recorder may not recognize the video signal if it’s weak or does not conform to normal video standards.

When copying DVD-Video discs or prerecorded video cassettes, the pic- ture is fuzzy and the brightness changes continuously?

•This happens when you copy a DVD or video cassette that uses copy protection. Playback of the original is OK, but the DVD+R(W) recording will be unwatch- able.This is normal with copy-protected DVDs and video cassettes.

Connecting your camcorder

You can transfer your home movies to DVD by connecting your camcorder to the AV sockets on the DVD recorder’s front panel, as shown.

If you have a DV or Digital 8 camcorder, using its i-link cable (7), connect the cam- corder’s i-link DV output to the DVD recorder’s DV input.

During the transfer, the original recording dates and times of your home movies will be recorded on the DVD as subtitles. During DVD playback, you can view this information by using the Subtitle function.
