The S Video input will override the composite video signal when S Video cable is connected. Connect either S Video or Video cable.

Connecting to S VIDEO terminals will enable you to enjoy greater picture quality than using Composite terminals.

Some programs contain a copyright protection signal to prevent recording.

When the copyright protection program is displayed, do not connect the other TV monitor through a VCR. Video signals fed through VCRs may be affected by copyright protection systems and the picture will be distorted on the other TV monitor.
