Connecting the AV Receiver —Continued
This section explains how to connect a VCR for
recording from a TV or another VCR.
Video Connections
• Use an S-Video cable to connect the AV receiver’s
S VIDEO 1 OUT jack to an S-Video input on the
recording VCR. Use another S-Video cable to connect
the AV receiver’s S VIDEO 3 IN jack to an S-Video
output on your TV or playback VCR, as shown.
OR
• Use a composite video cable to connect the AV
receiver’s V VIDEO 1 OUT jack to a composite video
input on the recording VCR. Use another composite
video cable to connect the AV receiver’s V VIDEO 3
IN jack to a composite video output on your TV or
playback VCR, as shown.
Audio Connections
• Use an analog audio cable to connect the AV
receiver’s VIDEO 1 OUT L/R jacks to an audio input
on the recording VCR.
• Use an analog audio cable to connect the AV
receiver’s VIDEO 3 IN L/R jacks to an audio output
on your TV or playback VCR.
Playback from the Recording VCR
To play back a video in the recording VCR via the AV
receiver:
• Use an S-Video cable to connect the AV receiver’s S
VIDEO 1 IN jack to an S-Video output on the record-
ing VCR.
OR
• Use a composite video cable to connect the AV
receiver’s V VIDEO 1 IN jack to a composite video
output on the recording VCR.
And use an analog audio cable to connect the AV
receiver’s VIDEO 1 IN L/R jacks to an audio output on
the recording VCR.
Notes:
• The AV receiver must be turned on for recording.
Recording is not possible while it’s in Standby mode.
• If you want to record directly from your TV or play-
back VCR to the recording VCR without going
through the AV receiver, connect the TV/VCR’s audio
and video outputs directly to the recording VCR’s
audio and video inputs. See the manuals supplied with
your TV and VCR for details.
• Video signals connected to composite video inputs
can only be recorded via composite video outputs. If
your TV/VCR is connected to a composite video
input, the recording VCR must be connected to a com-
posite video output. Similarly, video signals con-
nected to S-Video inputs can only be recorded via
S-Video outputs. If your TV/VCR is connected to an
S-Video input, the recording VCR must be connected
to an S-Video output.
