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.

jacks are only used for

 

'interlaced' signals. Signals using progressive scan cannot be processed by
