The media center
may also be con-
nected
to
a different
input on the
TV
using
an S-Video cable.
You
can use an S-Video cable
to
connect
the
media center (Video OUT) to your
TV,
for higher
DVD
picture quality. The composite connection made
in
Step 2 above will pass the VCR
video
to
the
TV.
Remember
to
select the proper TV input when you change from watching
video tapes to DVDs and vice versa.
If your media center is connected
to
the
TV
using the Component video adapter, you cannot
connect a VCR
to
the media center. Connect it directly
to
another input on the
TV
and select
that input on the TV to watch videotapes.
