The AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER connector accepts either a composite signal (regular video signal) or a Y/C signal (a signal in which the luminance and chrominance signals are separated). Set “L-2 SELECT” to the appropriate mode depending on the type of appliance connected to the recorder’s AV2 (L-2) IN/ DECODER connector. Set “L-2 INPUT” to the appropriate mode depending on the output signals of the connected appliance.

Perform steps 1 and 2 of “L-1 OUTPUT and L-1 INPUT Setting” on page 46.

When “L-2 SELECT” is set to “SAT”, “SAT” appears on TV screen or front display panel instead of “L-2” or “L2”.

If “L-2 SELECT” is set to “DECODER”, it is impossible to set “L-2 INPUT” to “S-VIDEO”.
