Connecting to a VCR or other similar device

This connection enables you to record from a video tape to the HDD or a DVD recordable disc and allows the VCR to be used for playback if the recorder is turned off.

IMPORTANT!

Your new recorder can replace the VCR for all your recording needs. Just unplug all the connections to your VCR.

AConnect the Antenna/Cable TV signal to the ANTENNA jack on the recorder.

BUse a RF coaxial cable to connect the TV jack on the recorder to the antenna input jack on your TV (VHF/UHF RF IN.)

CUse the audio/video cables to connect the VIDEO/AUDIO -EXT1on the recorder to the matching VIDEO/AUDIO output jacks on the VCR.

DUse the audio/video cables to connect the VIDEO/AUDIO -OUT2on the recorder to the matching VIDEO/AUDIO input jacks on the TV.

Helpful Hints:

Most commercial video cassettes and DVDs are copy-protected and therefore cannot be recorded.

Connect the recorder directly to the

TV. If there is a VCR or an additional device in between, the picture quality may be poor because of the copy protection system built into the recorder.

TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected from the power outlet.
