Connecting AV Components —Continued
Video Connections
Use a component video cable to connect the TX-L55’s
COMPONENT VIDEO 2 IN to the component video
output on your D-VHS VCR, as shown.
Your TV must also be connected via component video.
A component video connection provides better picture
quality than an S-Video connection.
Audio Connections
• Use an optical digital audio cable to connect the
TX-L55’s OPT 2 DIGITAL INPUT to the optical
output on your D-VHS VCR, as shown.
OR
• Use a coaxial digital audio cable to connect the
TX-L55’s COAX DIGITAL INPUT to the coaxial
output on your D-VHS VCR, as shown.
You might need to change the digital input assignments
(see page 31).
Video Connections
• Use an S-Video cable to connect the TX-L55’s
S VIDEO 1 OUT to an S-Video input on your
recording VCR.
OR
• Use a composite video cable to connect the TX-L55’s
V VIDEO 1 OUT to a composite video input on your
recording VCR.
Audio Connections
• Use an analog audio cable to connect the TX-L55’s
AUDIO VIDEO 1 L/R OUTs to the audio inputs on
your recording VCR.
This illustration shows how to connect a VCR for record-
ing from a TV or another VCR.
Notes:
• The TX-L55 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 without going through the TX-L55, con-
nect your TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly
to your recording VCR’s AV 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 and video playback components are con-
nected via composite video, you must connect your
recording VCR via composite video as well. Similarly,
video signals connected to S-Video inputs can only be
recorded via S-Video outputs. If your TV and video
playback components are connected via S-Video, you
must connect your recording VCR via S-Video as
well.
