You can connect a Video Cassette Recorder (VCR), Camcorder, or DVD Player to the Recorder’s CAM or EXT IN jacks.

A sample connection with a Camcorder is shown here, using the CAM 1 AUDIO/VIDEO IN jacks on the front of the Recorder. These jacks are the most easily accessible. Other equipment will connect similarly, but this is a common connection possibility.

You will need this connection to copy videotapes onto a DVD+R or DVD+RW. There are Component Video, S-Video, Digital Video, and Audio jacks on the front and rear of the Recorder. If your other equipment has these jacks, use them instead. Use the IN jacks on the rear of the Recorder for permanent connections.That will hide the cables from view.

1 Connect the DVD Recorder directly to your TV. Choose a connection from pages 10-16.

2 To access the AUDIO/VIDEO IN jacks on the front of the Recorder, flip down the door that covers the jacks.

3 Connect a video cable to the VIDEO OUT jack of your Camcorder and to the yellow CAM 1 VIDEO IN jack on the front of the DVD Recorder. Use an RCA-style video cable, which is usually marked with yellow. (One video cable is supplied with the Recorder.)

4 Connect audio cables to the AUDIO OUT jacks of your Camcorder and to the red and white CAM 1 AUDIO IN jacks on the front of the DVD Recorder. Most audio cables are color coded. Match the cable colors to the jack colors. (Two sets of audio cables are supplied with the DVD Recorder.)

5 When all connections are complete, connect all the equipment to power. Turn on all the equipment. Press STANDBY-ON y on the front of the DVD Recorder to turn it on.

6 Set your TV to the correct Video In channel. This will be channel 3 or 4 or a specific Video In channel, depending on your connection between the Recorder and the TV. Refer to the connection details on pages 9-16. Or, simply go to channel 5 on your TV, then change channels down until you see the DVD Recorder’s logo on the TV screen. The Initial Setup screen will appear the first time you turn on the Recorder. Go to page 18 to continue.

7 To watch or record the material playing on the other equipment, press MONITOR to put the Recorder in Monitor mode. Press CH+8 or CH-9 to select CAM1 at the Recorder. This is located after your highest TV channel and before your lowest TV channel. Choose CAM1 if you used the connection shown on this page (with the jacks on the front of the Recorder). If you use the IN EXT 1 or IN EXT 2 jacks on the rear of the Recorder instead, choose channel EXT 1 or EXT 2. Choose the chan- nel that matches the jacks to which you connected the other equipment.

Start playing the material by pressing PLAY on the other equip- ment. Press Record I on the front of the DVD Recorder to start recording. See page 21.

Helpful Hints

Limited PC applications may be supported. You also can use this jack to connect the Recorder to Digital Video or Hi-8 camcorders. If you use the DV IN jack, choose CAM 2 at the Recorder in Monitor mode to see the mate- rial playing on other equipment.

•Most prerecorded videotapes and DVDs are copy protected. If you try to copy them, the Recorder display may show “COPY PROTECT.”

•If the Recorder’s display shows “NO SIGNAL,” adjust the track- ing or play the tape on the VCR/Camcorder. See your VCR/Camcorder manual.

•Do not connect a Progressive Scan video source (such as a DVD Player) to the IN EXT 1 COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.The Recorder cannot receive Progressive Scan video.
