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.
