Connections to Your TV
Make one of the following connections, depending on
the capabilities of your existing equipment.
Tips:
Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish
to connect, there are various ways you could connect
the recorder. Use only one of the connections
described below.
Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo
System or other devices as necessary to make the
best connections.
Caution
Make sure the recorder is connected directly to the
TV. Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.
Do not connect the recorder’s AUDIO OUT jack to
the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio system.
Do not connect your recorder via your VCR. The
DVD image could be distorted by the copy protection
system.
Video connection
Connect the VIDEO OUT jack on the recorder to the
video in jack on the TV using the video cable (V).
S-Video connection
Connect the S-VIDEO OUT jack on the recorder to the
S-Video in jack on the TV using the S-Video cable (S).
Component Video connection
Connect the COMPONENT/PROGRESSIVE SCAN
VIDEO OUT jacks on the recorder to the corresponding
input jacks on the TV using an Y Pb Pr cable (C).
Progressive Scan connection
If your television is a high-definition or “digital ready”
television, you may take advantage of the recorder’s
progressive scan output for the highest video resolution
possible. If your TV does not accept the Progressive
Scan format, the picture will appear scrambled if you try
Progressive Scan on the recorder.
Set the resolution to 576p using RESOLUTION button
for progressive signal.
Note:
Progressive scan does not work with the analog video
connections (yellow VIDEO OUT jack).
Caution
If the resolution is set to 720p or 1080i, the VIDEO
OUT, S-VIDEO OUT and COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
connections are not available.
Audio (Left/Right) Connection
Connect the left and right AUDIO OUT jacks of the
recorder to the audio left and right IN jacks on the TV
using the audio cables (A). Do not connect the
