18
CConnecting additional devices
You can connect additional devices such as decoders, satellite receivers, camcorders, etc. to the
S-VIDEO IN , Video in , COMPONENT VIDEO IN and the IN AUDIO L/R , AUDIO L/R
IN jacks on the recorder. Switching between jack S-VIDEO IN and Video in is done
automatically. In case both jacks are occupied, the signal at jack S-VIDEO IN is given priority.
The DVD recorder must be connected directly to the TV set ( S-VIDEO OUT , VIDEO
(CVBS) OUT ,or COMPONENT VIDEO 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 IN jacks are only used for 'interlaced'
signals. Signals using progressive scan cannot be processed by the DVD
recorder.
