Option 2: Using the S-VIDEO In or 
VIDEO In socket

Use the S-VIDEO connection if you have 
a Hi8 or S-VHS(C) camcorder. It 
provides good picture quality.

Alternatively, you can use the VIDEO
connection if your camcorder has only a
single video output (Composite Video,
CVBS).

A

 Connect the 

VIDEO

 (CAM1) or 

S-VIDEO

 (CAM2) socket on the front 

panel of the recorder to the 
corresponding S-VHS or Video output 
socket on the camcorder.

B

 Use an audio cable (red/white ends) to 

connect the 

AUDIO L/R

 sockets on the 

front panel of the recorder to the audio 
output sockets on the camcorder.

Before you start operating, press 

SOURCE

 on the remote control

repeatedly to select ‘CAM1’ or ‘CAM2’ 
as the input channel, depending on your 
connections. See the chapter “Recording” 
for details.

Step 2: Optional Connections 

(continued)

TIPS: 

Refer to the respective connected device’s user manual for other possible connections.
