VCR REC

OBefore recording signals from an external component, check that the video signals are input.

OWhen signals from an external component are being recorded, do not stop the signal output at the external component side or disconnect any of the cables. It may not be possible for the component to be recognized when recording is resumed.

O If video signals have been input to both the S- VIDEO IN/OUT connector and VIDEO IN/OUT connector, the signals of the S-VIDEO IN/OUT connector take precedence.

O It is not possible to record the audio signals if video signals are not input to the S-VIDEO IN/OUT connector or VIDEO IN/OUT connector except when performing audio dubbing.

OWhen images containing copy-guarded signals (signals that protect copyrights) are recorded using this unit, they will appear as mosaic patterns when they are played back.
