Connecting a camcorder to the front
jacks
To copy camcorder recordings, you can use the front jacks. These
jacks are behind the door in the lower right corner of the front panel.
Recordings from the front jacks were stored on the HDD to make
editing easy. Then you can transfer (archive) them on a DVD+RW/+R.
Digital (DV) input jack
If you are using a Digital Video or Digital 8 camcorder, connect the
DV IN (CAM2) IN jack of the DVD Recorder to the corresponding
DV OUT jack on the camcorder.
Choose '
CAM2' as a program number for this input.
When films are transferred, the original recording date and time are stored
as DVD subtitles.
During playback, you can display this data on the TV screen by using the
'Subpicture' function.
S video input jack
If you are using a Hi8 or S-VHS(C) camcorder, connect the S-VIDEO
(CAM1) in jack of the DVD Recorder to the corresponding S-video
out jack on the camcorder.
You must also connect the L AUDIO R (CAM1) in jacks of the DVD
Recorder to the audio out jacks on the camcorder.
Choose '
CAM1' as a program number for this input.
Video (CVBS) input jack
If your camcorder only uses a video output (Composite Video or
CVBS), connect the VIDEO (CAM1) input of the DVD Recorder to
the corresponding output jack on the camcorder.
You must also connect the L AUDIO R (CAM1) in jacks of the DVD
Recorder to the audio out jacks on the camcorder.

Connecting audio devices to the analog
audio jacks
There were two analog audio output jacks AUDIO L/R (OUT
2) (audio signal output left/right) and two audio input jacks AUDIO
L/R (IN-EXT 2) (audio input left/right) on the back of the DVD
Recorder.
These can be used to connect the following devices:
•) A receiver with Dolby Surround Pro Logic
•) A receiver with two channel analog stereo
Can I use the 'Phono' input on my amplifier?
This amplifier jack (input) should only be used for record players without a
pre-amplifier. Do not use this input jack to connect the DVD Recorder.
This could damage the DVD Recorder or the amplifier.
Connecting audio devices to the digital
audio jacks
The back of the DVD Recorder features two digital audio output jacks
OPTICAL OUT for an optical cable and COAX OUT for a coaxial
cable (cinch cable).
It can be used to connect the following devices:
•) an Audio/Video receiver or an Audio/Video amplifier with a
digital multi channel sound decoder
•) a receiver with two channel digital stereo (PCM)
Digital multi-channel sound
Digital multi-channel sound provides maximum sound quality. You will
need a multi-channel A/V receiver or amplifier that supports at least
one of the audio formats of the DVD recorder (MPEG2 and Dolby
Digital).
Consult the owner's manual of your receiver to find out which audio
formats it supports.
a A loud distorted sound is coming from my speakers
b The receiver does not support the digital audio format of the DVD
Recorder. The audio format of the inserted DVD is displayed in the
display panel when another language is switched on. Playback using
6-channel digital surround sound is only possible when the receiver
has a digital multi-channel sound decoder.
