Connecting additional devices
You can connect additional devices such as decoders, satellite receivers, camcorders, etc. to the
S-VIDEO (Y/C) , VIDEO (CVBS) , COMPONENT VIDEO Y PB PR and L AUDIO R ,
AUDIO jacks on the recorder. Switching between S-VIDEO (Y/C) and VIDEO (CVBS) is
done automatically.
The DVD recorder must be connected directly to the TV (connect S-VIDEO (Y/C) OUT ,
VIDEO (CVBS) OUT , or COMPONENT VIDEO Y PB PR OUT directly to the TV). If
there is a VCR in between, the picture quality may be poor because of the copy protection
system built into the DVD recorder.
Can I also connect other devices with 'Progressive scan'?
The COMPONENT VIDEO Y PB PR In jacks are only used for
'interlaced' signals. Signals using progressive scan cannot be processed by
the DVD recorder.
Connecting an additional video recorder,
DVD player
You can connect a VCR or a DVD player to the input jacks of the Recorder. Please use the
S-VIDEO (Y/C) In jack and the L AUDIO R In jacks for SVHS video recorders.
Please be aware
Most pre-recorded video cassettes and DVDs are copy protected. When you attempt to copy
them, the 'COPY PROT' message will appear in the DVD Recorder display.
a When copying video cassettes, 'NO SIGNAL' appears in the
DVD Recorder display
b Check whether the cable plugs fit correctly.
b If the recording is made from a VCR, adjust the "tracking" on the
VCR.
b In case of bad, non-standard video input signals, the DVD Recorder
may not be able to detect the signal.
a When copying from DVDs or pre copied video cassettes, the
picture is grainy and the brightness fluctuates.
b This occurs when you attempt to copy copy-protected DVDs or
video cassettes. Although the picture on the TV is OK, the recording
is distorted on a DVD+R or DVD+RW. Copy-protected DVDs and
video cassettes cannot be copied without these disruptions.
