Parasound Halo C1 Controller - Manual (Page 46)

Connecting a Video Recorder
The video Record jacks, and the Record 1 and Record 2 audio output jacks, carry the same signal
as the other main-zone outputs. To tape one video or broadcast while you view another, connect
your video recorder to the Zone video and audio output jacks and use the Zone control mode to
select the source you want to record.
(Note: Video signals can also be recorded via the video monitor outputs. However, do not use
the “OSD” jacks, or the on-screen display will be superimposed forever on your recording.)
(A third option, of course, is to record broadcast, cable, or satellite program through the video
recorder’s antenna/cable [RF] inputs; this can be done regardless of what you’re watching, and
even when the C 1 is turned off.)
Cabling for a DVD recorder would be similar to that shown for a VCR, with the addition of digital
audio connections like those shown for a digital audio recorder earlier in this chapter.
