12 EN INSTALLING YOUR NEW VCR
Connections
NOTES:
•HDMI will be automatically activated (HDMI-ON) when a HDMI connection has been made. To de-activate (HDMI-OFF), press
[HDMI] on the front panel and the [HDMI] LED will turn off.
During HDMI-ON ([HDMI] LED on), the image format output to the TV connected via the HDMI connector will be in accordance to
the image format of the TV. During HDMI-OFF ([HDMI] LED off), the image format output to the TV is in accordance to this VCR’s
“IN/OUT FUNCTION” menu settings “TV OUTPUT 1” and “TV OUTPUT 2” (Apage 65). If the picture cannot be properly
displayed on the TV when using the HDMI to DVI connection, try setting HDMI to OFF.
If your TV is not High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) compatible, the pictures will not be properly displayed on the
TV. In this case, use the component video, s-video or video connection.
•If you cannot see the pictures on the TV screen when you play back a tape, set “TV OUTPUT 2” to the appropriate mode (Apage
65). “TV OUTPUT 2” is invalid when HDMI is activated.
•To operate the VCR with your TV using the HDMI, DVI, Component Video or S-VIDEO connection, set your TV to the AV mode
using the TV’s Remote.
You can also use the TV/VCR button on the VCR’s Remote to set your TV to the AV mode (Apage 76).
•To ensure that you can record one show while watching another (Apage 38), you must also connect the VCR to the TV using the
RF cable.
•Use the commercially available i.LINK cable (4-pin, S400, below 3m). If the cable used is above 3m, this VCR will not fully
maximize its performance.
•For full identification of the VCR’s rear panel, refer to the Index (Apage 8).
