CAMCORDER CONNECTIONS

Your VCR has jacks on its front panel that let you easily connect a camcorder or other video source. You can also connect a camcorder to the R-AUDIO-L IN 1/VIDEO IN 1 jacks on the back of the VCR.

Note: Although you can connect your cable box or direct-to-home satellite receiver to the jacks on the VCR’s front panel, the VCR’s remote control function will not work if you do. See “Positioning the VCR and Cable Box or Satellite Receiver” on Page 14 for more information.

The VCR needs a stereo audio/video cable for this connection. Your audio/video cable (not sup- plied) must have plugs that fit the VCR’s jacks and the camcorder’s jacks for this connection.

2.Insert the plugs at the other end of the cable into the AUDIO/VIDEO OUT jacks on your cam- corder or other video source. Be sure to connect VIDEO to VIDEO and AUDIO to AUDIO (use the plug’s color codes as a guide).
