CConnecting additional devices

You can connect additional devices such as decoders, satellite receivers, camcorders, etc. to the S-VIDEO IN , Video in , COMPONENT VIDEO IN and the IN AUDIO L/R , AUDIO L/R IN jacks on the recorder. Switching between jack S-VIDEO IN and Video in is done automatically. In case both jacks are occupied, the signal at jack S-VIDEO IN is given priority.

The DVD recorder must be connected directly to the TV set ( S-VIDEO OUT , VIDEO (CVBS) OUT , or COMPONENT VIDEO OUT socket directly to the TV set). If there is a video recorder in between the picture quality may be poor because of the copy protection system built into the DVD recorder.

Can I also connect other devices with 'Progressive scan'?

The COMPONENT VIDEO IN jacks are only

used for 'interlaced'

 

signals. Signals using progressive scan cannot be processed by the DVD

?

recorder.

You can also connect a video recorder or a DVD player to the input jacks. Please use the S-VIDEO IN jack and the IN AUDIO L/R jacks for SVHS video recorders.
