Connecting AV Components—Continued

Connecting a D-VHS VCR for Playback

Video Connections

Use a component video cable to connect the TX-L55’s COMPONENT VIDEO 2 IN to the component video output on your D-VHS VCR, as shown.

Your TV must also be connected via component video. A component video connection provides better picture quality than an S-Video connection.

Audio Connections

•Use an optical digital audio cable to connect the TX-L55’s OPT 2 DIGITAL INPUT to the optical output on your D-VHS VCR, as shown.

OR

•Use a coaxial digital audio cable to connect the TX-L55’s COAX DIGITAL INPUT to the coaxial output on your D-VHS VCR, as shown.

You might need to change the digital input assignments (see page 31).

Notes:

•The TX-L55 must be turned on for recording. Recording is not possible while it’s in Standby mode.

•If you want to record directly from your TV or play- back VCR without going through the TX-L55, con- nect your TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to your recording VCR’s AV inputs. See the manuals supplied with your TV and VCR for details.

•Video signals connected to composite video inputs can only be recorded via composite video outputs. If your TV and video playback components are con- nected via composite video, you must connect your recording VCR via composite video as well. Similarly, video signals connected to S-Video inputs can only be recorded via S-Video outputs. If your TV and video playback components are connected via S-Video, you must connect your recording VCR via S-Video as well.
