Connecting an A/V device to the DVD Recorder
You can connect an A/V device like a Video Cassette Recorder (VCR), satellite receiver, Digital
Video (DV) camera or Digital-8 Video camera to the DVD Recorder so that you can record
from a satellite receiver or copy your videos onto DVDs.
Permanent connections
The BenQ DE320 DVD Recorder has three video input connectors on the rear panel for
permanent connection to Audio Video (A/V) equipment like a VCR using either:
• S-Video, or
• SCART, or
• Composite video (A/V).
See "Connecting a VCR to the DVD Recorder using an S-video cable" on page 22, or
See "Connecting a VCR to the DVD Recorder using an A/V cable" on page 23.
Temporary connections
The BenQ DE320 DVD Recorder also has two video input connectors on the front panel for
temporary connection of Audio Video (A/V) equipment like a video camera using either:
• Digital Video (IEEE 1394 – Firewire), or
• Composite video (A/V).
See "Connecting a Camcorder to the DVD Recorder using a DV cable" on page 25, or
See "Connecting a Camcorder to the DVD Recorder using an A/V cable" on page 26.
Video quality
You need only connect the A/V device to your DVD Recorder using just one of the above
methods, as each provides a different level of video quality. The method you choose will most
likely depend upon the availability of terminals provided on the A/V device itself.
For a description of video quality using these methods, see "Connecting to a display device (TV
or projector)" on page 12.
