Video Recorder Connections

It’s not always about playback. Sometimes you want

to record, and these days that means DVD recorders,

HDD recorders, and PVRs (such as TiVo®), in addition

to the old standby, the VCR.

Once you’ve connected a dual playback/record de-

vice to the Video 3 or Video 4 inputs (see page 15),

follow these steps to connect the GTP-870HD back

out to the device for record capability.

Connecting a Video Recorder

1 Connect video.

• Using a video cable, connect the Video Tape

output on the GTP-870HD to the video input

on your video recorder.

• For higher quality video, use an S-video ca-

ble to connect to your video recorder.

2 Connect audio.

• Using RCA cables, connect the Video 3 or

Video 4 audio outputs on the GTP-870HD to

the audio inputs on your video recorder.

• Choose Video 3 or Video 4 depending on

which input your recorder is connected to.

• If you have two video recording devices con-

nected, you can use the Aux output for audio

recording.

Tip

An alternate use of the

S-Video Out is to provide

video to 'legacy' video

display devices. For example,

you could use the S-Video

out to provide input to a

video processor connected

to an older projector that

requires an RGB input.
