Helpful Hints
You can connect a VCR, Camcorder, or DVD Player
to the COMPONENT VIDEO IN (Y P
B P R ), S-VIDEO
IN, VIDEO IN, and AUDIO IN jacks on the rear panel
or to the VIDEO IN, AUDIO IN, or SV (S-Video) IN
jacks on the front panel.
A sample connection with a Camcorder is shown here,
using the AUDIO/VIDEO IN jacks on the front of the
Recorder. These jacks are the most easily accessible.
Other equipment will connect similarly, but this is a
common connection possibility.
Use the IN jacks on the rear of the Recorder for per-
manent connections.That will hide the cables from view.

Choose a connection from pages 10-16.
2 To access the AUDIO/VIDEO IN jacks on the front of the
Recorder, flip down the door that covers the jacks.
3 Connect a video cable to the VIDEO OUT jack of your
Camcorder and to the yellow VIDEO IN jack on the front of the
Recorder.
Use an RCA-style video cable, which is usually marked with
yellow. (One video cable is supplied with the Recorder.)
4 Connect audio cables to the AUDIO OUT jacks of your
Camcorder and to the red and white AUDIO IN jacks on the
front of the Recorder.
One set of audio cables is supplied with the
Recorder. Most audio cables are red and white. Match the cable colors to
the jack colors.
