Chapter 1: Connections and Setup
Front of the DVD Recorder
ON/STANDBY – Turns the DVD recorder on and off.
STOP – Stops playback and/or recording.
PLAY/PAUSE – Starts playback of a disc. Pauses recording or playback.
REV (reverse) – Searches backwards through the disc.
FWD (forward) – Searches forwards through a disc.
REC (record) – Records content to a DVD disc (DVD+R or DVD+RW discs only).
OPEN/CLOSE – Opens and closes the disc tray.
INPUT – Just like a TV has Video Input Channels (page 18), the DVD recorder has one Video Input Channel for each set of INPUT jacks. The Video Input Channel is the
“channel” to which you tune the unit so you can see the picture and hear the sound that’s coming from the component that is connected to the DVD recorder’s INPUT
jacks. For example, if you connected your camcorder to the Audio and Video Input jacks on the front of the DVD recorder, you would press the INPUT button until INPUT
2-Front appears to see what the camcorder is playing on the TV.
CH-/SKIP- (channel down/skip reverse) – Goes to the previous channel in the channel list when you’re watching TV. When playing a disc, goes to the beginning of
the current chapter or track unless you’re within the fi rst minute of a chapter or the fi rst 15 seconds of a track—then, you’ll skip to the beginning of the preceding chapter
or track.
CH+/SKIP+ (channel up/skip forward) – Goes to the next channel in the channel list when you’re watching TV. When playing a disc, goes to the beginning of the
next title, chapter, or track on a disc (in effect,“skipping” the title, chapter, or track).
Front Input Jacks:
INPUT 2: Audio/Video jacks – These Input Jacks are provided for convenience when you are connecting a temporary component, such as a camcorder.
S-VIDEO – If a component you’re connecting, such as a camcorder, has an S-Video Output jack connect it to this jack for picture quality that is better than regular
video (yellow). Remember, you still have to connect audio cables to hear sound.
