Step 5: Connections - Front of your DVD Recorder (optional)

Video camera connection

If you have a DV or Digital 8 video camera, connect
the i-link DV input jack on the Recorder (1) to the
corresponding output jack on the video camera using
the i-link cable of your video camera.
This connection enables digital recording from the
following devices:
–DV or Digital 8 video camera
Digital video deck
–Personal computer with DV output
–DVD recorder with DV output
If you have a Hi-8 or S-VHS(C) video camera, connect
the DVD Recorder’s S-VIDEO IN jack to the
corresponding OUT jack on the video camera. Use
the S-Video cable supplied (2).Then connect the
AUDIO Left (white) and Right (red) IN jacks of the
DVD Recorder to the corresponding OUT jacks on
the video camera using the AUDIO cable supplied (4).
Otherwise, connect the VIDEO IN jack on the
DVD Recorder (yellow) to the corresponding OUT
jack on the video camera. Use the video cable
supplied (3). Then connect the AUDIO Left (white)
and Right (red) IN jacks of the DVD Recorder to the
corresponding OUT jacks on the video camera using
the AUDIO cable supplied (4).
If your video camera has mono sound, use only the
left audio connector. In this case the sound will be
recorded on both audio channels.
Notes
You will need only one video connection and one audio
connection: only the i-link DV connection carries both video and
audio. You may not use all the jacks on the DVD Recorder.
Step 6: Power supply
Make sure all necessary connections are made before
connecting the DVD Recorder to the power supply.
Plug the supplied power cable into the Power jack on
the back of the Recorder.
Connect the power cord to an AC outlet.
Note:
Make sure the local power voltage matches the required 110V.
When the Recorder is in the ‘standby/power off’ position,
it is still consuming some power. If you wish to disconnect your
DVD Recorder completely from power, remove the power cord
from the AC Outlet.
When the DVD Recorder is disconnected from the power,
TV channels and timer data usually will be stored one year.
Switching on
Switch on the TV and the amplifier, then select the
TV’s Video In channel or the channel you have chosen
for video playback
Press STANDBY/ON to turn on the Recorder.
The Recorder display lights. If you have not yet
installed your DVD Recorder, it will enter ‘Initial
setup.’ You will have to set your personal preferences.
