7.Connecting a DVD recorder or other digital video recording device (VIDEO 2)

Using RCA video cables, connect the video output jack (composite) of the device to the VIDEO 2 VIDEO IN jack of the DTR-8.3 and connect the video input jack of the device to the VIDEO 2 VIDEO OUT jack of the DTR-8.3. Or if the device has S video input and output jacks, connect them to the VIDEO 2 S VIDEO IN and OUT jacks of the DTR-8.3 using S video cables. Or if the device has component video outputs, connect them to one of the banks of COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks on the DTR-8.3.

With the initial settings of the DTR-8.3, the VIDEO 2 input source is set for the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 2 jacks.

If you connect the device to the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 1 jacks, this must be changed at Setup Menu Input Setup Video Setup Component Video (see page 51).

Using RCA audio cables, connect the audio output jacks of the device to the VIDEO 2 AUDIO IN jacks of the DTR-8.3 and connect the audio input jacks of the device to the VIDEO 2 AUDIO OUT jacks of the DTR-8.3. Make sure that you properly connect the left channels to the L jacks and the right channels to the R jacks.

If the device has a digital output, connect it to either the DIGITAL INPUT COAX jack or DIGITAL INPUT OPT jack of the DTR-8.3 depending on the type of connector on the device.

With the initial settings of the DTR-8.3, the VIDEO 2 input source is set for digital input at the COAX 3 jack.

If the digital connection is made at a different jack, this must be changed at Setup Menu Input Setup Digital Setup (see page 49).

If the device has a digital input, connect it to the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPT jack of the DTR-8.3 for digital recording of the REC OUT signal from the DTR-8.3.

Note:

The output from the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack of the DTR-8.3 is only the digital signal input to the DIGITAL INPUT jack.
