Connecting 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.
