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 satellite receiver or TV. You can also record one TV channel while watching another channel.

Note: If your DVD player has component video connections, see “Connecting a DVD player with ColorStream® (component video) and a VCR” on page 10.

You will need:

•three coaxial cables (one or more may be supplied by cable company)

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

•two standard video cables and one S-video cable (see notes at right)

Note:

See “Note Regarding Picture Quality” on page 7.

To watch a DVD/satellite program, the TV must select VIDEO 1; to watch a VCR program, the TV must select VIDEO 2 (see page 17).

player/satellite receiver, but the picture quality will decrease. 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.

Do not connect a standard video cable and an S-video cable to VIDEO 1 (or VIDEO 2) at the same time, or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

To prevent the TV’s volume setting from affecting the recorded sound level, set AUDIO OUT to FIXED during recording (see “Selecting variable audio out” on page 35).
