Connecting to a VCR or other similar device

This connection enables you to record from video tape to a DVD+R/+RW and allows the VCR to be used for playback if the DVD recorder is turned off.

A splitter (not supplied) is required for this connection.

1Connect the Antenna/Cable TV signal to a splitter. Then connect the RF coaxial cables from the splitter to the antenna input (RF IN) jack on the VCR and the

ANTENNA jack on the DVD recorder.

2Use the supplied RF coaxial cable to connect the antenna output (RF OUT) jack on the VCR to the antenna input jack on the TV.

3Use the audio/video cables to connect VIDEO/AUDIO IN-EXTon the DVD recorder to the matching VIDEO/AUDIO output jacks on the VCR.

4Use the audio/video cables to connect VIDEO/AUDIO OUT-2on the DVD recorder to the matching VIDEO/AUDIO input jacks on the TV.

Helpful Hints:

–You may use the S-VIDEO (Y/C) jack instead of VIDEO (CVBS) jack if the connected device has the same S-VIDEO input/output jack. This video connection provides better picture quality.

–Most commercial video cassettes and DVDs are copy-protected and therefore cannot be recorded.

–Connect the DVD recorder directly to the TV. If there is a VCR or an additional device in between, the picture quality may be poor because of the copy protection system built into the DVD recorder.

TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected from the power outlet.
