Connecting a DVD player or satellite receiver and a VCR

This connection allows you to watch DVD/satellite, VCR, or TV programs. You can record from the DVD player/satellite receiver or TV. You can also record one TV channel while watching another channel.

Note: If your DVD player has component video connections, follow the connection instructions under “Connecting a DVD player with ColorStream(component video) and a VCR” on page 10.

You will need:

one coaxial cable

three pairs of audio cables (one pair and two single audio cables for a mono VCR)

two regular video cables

one S-video cable

The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or revision of television programs, videotapes, DVDs, and other materials is prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States and other countries, and may subject you to civil and criminal liability.

Note:

You can use a standard (yellow) video cable instead of an S-video cable between the TV and DVD player/satellite receiver, but the picture quality will decrease. Do not connect a regular video cable and an S-video cable to Video-1 (or Video-2) at the same time, or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

The illustration at left shows one S-video cable and one pair of audio cables connected from the DVD player/satellite receiver to Video-1 on the TV.

When recording, set Audio Out to FIXED (see “Selecting variable audio OUT” on page 35). With Audio Out set to FIXED, the TV’s volume setting will not affect the sound level being recorded.
