pg. 91).
TV equipped with Audio and Video Inputs is required to operate the recorder.
To make the most of the Super VHS picture performance we recommend that you use the supplied S-VIDEO cable to connect your
recorder to a TV with an S-VIDEO input connector.
To operate the recorder with your TV using the S-VIDEO connection, set your TV to the AV mode using the TV’s remote control.
You can also use the TV/VCR button on the recorder’s remote control to set your TV to the AV mode. (
