Video Source Inputs
There are input connections for five video source components. Each of the five provides a pair of RCA inputs for analog audio signals. Each of the five also provides a choice of an RCA composite video input or
NOTE: There is no need to use more than one type of video connection from a source com- ponent. While doing so will no harm to the unit, we recommend selecting one type of video connection and using it for all video connections. As a general rule, using RCA composite video connections will simply sys- tem setup and operation.
There are also video record outputs (described in a following section) which correspond to three of the video source inputs – Video 1, 2, and 3). For this reason, you should plan ahead and designate each source component as Video 1, Video 2, etc. All connections (both input and output) from a source component must be made consistently to the same set of connections. For example, all input and out- put connections to a particular VCR could be made to Video 1 connectors.
Also, be sure that the channels are connected consistently, i.e. left channel signals connected to left channel inputs/outputs and right chan- nel signals connected to right channel inputs/ outputs.
NOTE: These video source inputs can also be used for additional
VIDEO 1–5 Audio Inputs
Using standard audio interconnect cables, connect the left and right channel analog au- dio outputs of VCRs or other source compo- nents to the VIDEO 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 inputs using standard RCA audio cables.
