CONNECTIONS

Connecting the video output to your TV

In order to use the DVD Recorder, you’ll need to make a video connection to your TV. The capabilities of your TV and the cables you have on hand will determine the connections you can use. There are 3 possible connection types:

ŸComposite Video - The most widely used connection. This unit includes an A/V cable for Composite Video.

ŸS-Video - A higher quality connection that requires a special S-Video cable and an S-Video capable TV.

ŸComponent Video - The highest quality video connection. Supported on high-end TVs and requires a special cable.

Composite Video (Typical connection)

This unit ships with a composite video (A/V) cable for connection to TVs with a standard video input as shown below. This is the most widely used type of connection. On most TVs, this connector is colored yellow, and is normally accompanied by stereo audio inputs, colored red and white for stereo channels right and left, respectively.

First, use the supplied A/V cable to connect to the composite video input on your TV. This is normally a yellow-colored connector that matches the Video output on the back of this unit. If you wish to hear sound through the TV, connect the red and white stereo audio connections as well.

Important note for older TV models

If your TV does not have a composite video-in jack like that pictured above, you cannot connect this
	Antenna/cable TV
unit directly. If this is so, check to make sure your TV has at least a coaxial connector (used for
antenna/cable TV/VCR/etc.) such as that pictured to the right. In this case, you can use a RF	coaxial connector
Modulator to convert this unit’s video out to the coaxial connection on your TV. RF Modulators are	on older TVs
available at major electronics retailers.
