Connections and preparation

Note

If you connect both LANC jacks on the front and rear panel, the front one is selected.

Notes

When you connect output jacks of the recorder to input jacks of the player VCR, select the input correctly to prevent a humming noise.

If you connect cables to both audio/video jacks and

S VIDEO connector of LINE-1 IN/LINE-2 IN, signals from the S VIDEO jack is selected. (“S” lights in the display window.) To select signals from the LINE-1 IN video jack, set “L1 IN VIDEO” in the SET UP MENU to “NORM.” To give priority to signals from the LINE-2 IN video jack, disconnect any cable from the S VIDEO jack on this VCR.

Distorted signals (e.g., when played back at a speed other than normal) will not be recorded properly.

Tip

To connect a monaural VCR, use LINE-2 IN jack and connect to the L jack (white) (leave the red audio plug unconnected).
