Connecting Other Sources

Connecting a VCR

For best picture quality choose the component video connection to your VCR. S-Video and composite video outputs are also provided.

If you wish to perform analog dubbing from a digital source, such as a DVD recorder to an analog recorder such as a cassette deck, you will need to connect the analog inputs and outputs as shown below, in addition to the digital audio connections.

The digital inputs and outputs connection is the same as that for a CD (MD) recorder.
