Connecting additional devices
You can connect additional devices such as decoders, satellite receivers, camcorders, etc. to the
S-VIDEO (Y/C) , VIDEO (CVBS) , COMPONENT VIDEO Y PB PR and the L AUDIO R ,
AUDIO jacks on the recorder. Switching between jack S-VIDEO (Y/C) and VIDEO (CVBS) is
done automatically.
The DVD recorder must be connected directly to the TV set ( S-VIDEO (Y/C) OUT ,
VIDEO (CVBS) OUT , or COMPONENT VIDEO Y PB PR OUT socket directly to the TV
set). If there is a video recorder in between the picture quality may be poor because of the copy
protection system built into the DVD recorder.
Can I also connect other devices with 'Progressive scan'?
The
COMPONENT VIDEO Y PB PR jacks are only used for
'interlaced' signals. Signals using progressive scan cannot be processed by
the DVD recorder.
Connecting an additional video recorder,
DVD player
You can also connect a video recorder or a DVD player to the input jacks. Please use the
S-VIDEO (Y/C) jack and the L AUDIO R jacks for SVHS video recorders.
Please be aware
Most pre-recorded video cassettes and DVDs are copy protected. When you attempt to copy
them, the 'COPY PROT' message will appear in the DVD Recorder display.
a When copying video cassettes 'NO SIGNAL' appears in the
DVD Recorder display
b Check whether the cable plugs fit correctly.
b If the recording is made from a video recorder, adjust the "tracking"
on the video recorder.
b In case of bad, non-standard video input signals, the DVD Recorder
may not be able to detect the signal.
a When copying from DVDs or pre copied video cassettes, the
picture is grainy and the brightness fluctuates.
b This occurs when you attempt to copy copy-protected DVDs or
video cassettes. Although the picture on the TV is OK, the recording
