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.

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.

them, the '
COPY PROT' message will appear 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.

may not be able to detect the signal.
aWhen copying from DVDs or pre copied video cassettes, the
picture is grainy and the brightness fluctuates.

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.
