Using Other Equipment

Notes on the audio jacks

You cannot simultaneously use both IN and OUT jacks when the jack names are the same as each other. For example, the signal input from the VCR IN jack does not output from the VCR OUT jack.

CinemaStation’s digital and analog signal circuits are independent of each other, so analog input signals can only output from analog output jacks and digital input signals can only output from digital output jacks.

Notes on recording and playing video

Perform a test recording before recording.

Do not press ON SCREEN during recording a DVD video. If you press ON SCREEN, the On Screen Menu appears, and both the video and On Screen Menu will be recorded.

It is not possible to record DSP effects.

When you turn off the connected VCR power, playback sound may become distorted and the volume reduced. In this case, turn on the VCR power.

Even if you adjust the audio volume, audio quality, or change the DSP Program during a video recording, it has no effect on the recorded sound.

Video recordings that you make cannot be used for any purpose other than private enjoyment without the consent of the copyright holder.

You cannot record from a copy protected DVD disc.

Connect a game console to a digital input

If your game console has a digital output jack (optical), it can be connected to CinemaStation’s OPTICAL IN jack.

See page 50, “Connecting Audio Equipment” to learn how to connect an optical jack.

Connect the video output to CinemaStation’s VIDEO 1 IN or VIDEO 2 IN jack. (“VIDEO” IN jack on U.K. and Europe models)
