CConnecting additional devices

You can connect additional devices such as decoders, satellite receivers, camcorders, etc. to the

S-VIDEO (Y/C) , VIDEO (CVBS) , COMPONENT VIDEO Y PB PR and L AUDIO R , AUDIO jacks on the recorder. Switching between S-VIDEO (Y/C) and VIDEO (CVBS) is done automatically.

The DVD recorder must be connected directly to the TV (connect S-VIDEO (Y/C) OUT , VIDEO (CVBS) OUT , or COMPONENT VIDEO Y PB PR OUT directly to the TV). If there is a VCR in between, the picture quality may be poor because of the copy protection system built into the DVD recorder.

Can I also connect other devices with 'Progressive scan'?

The COMPONENT VIDEO Y PB PR In	jacks are only used for
'interlaced' signals. Signals using progressive scan cannot be processed by		?
the DVD recorder.

Connecting an additional video recorder, DVD player

You can connect a VCR or a DVD player to the input jacks of the Recorder. Please use the S-VIDEO (Y/C) In jack and the L AUDIO R In jacks for SVHS video recorders.
