“Playing and Recording Programs” in the User’s Guide. You must use Audio/Video
Input 2 on the Recorder to connect a VCR or a video camera.
To connect a VCR:
1. Connect a Composite A/V cable
from the Audio/Video Output 2
connector on the Recorder to the
Audio/Video Input connector on
the VCR. This will allow you to

cable from the Audio/Video
Output connector on the VCR to
the Audio/Video Input 2

your home videos into DVDs).

connector on the VCR to the Antenna/RF In connector on the TV. Then press the
