For the VHS/DVD OUT terminal, VHS and DVD outputs can be switched or it can be assigned for VHS output only (lpage 12).

The DVD OUT terminal can only output the DVD signal.

Note:

≥When Video is switched to DVD or vice versa, the audio volume may suddenly increase or decrease. This is because when the audio output of this unit is connected to the TV, etc., the audio output of the DVD is generally lower.

When you increase the volume level to play back DVD audio, reduce it when playback is finished.
