Connecting a DVD player or satellite receiver
and a VCR
This connection allows you to watch DVD/satellite, VCR, or TV
programs. You can record from the satellite receiver or TV. You can
also record one TV channel while watching another channel.
Note: If your DVD player has component video connections, see
“Connecting a DVD player with ColorStream
®
(component video)
and a VCR” on page 10.
You will need:
• three coaxial cables (one or more may be supplied by cable
company)
• three pairs of audio cables (one pair and two single audio cables
for a mono VCR)
• two standard video cables and one S-video cable (see notes at
right)
Note:
See “Note Regarding Picture Quality” on
page 7.
To watch a DVD/satellite program, the TV
must select VIDEO 1; to watch a VCR
program, the TV must select VIDEO 2 (see
page 17).
You can use a standard video cable instead of
an S-video cable between the TV and DVD
player/satellite receiver, but the picture quality
will decrease. The illustration at left shows one
S-video cable and one pair of audio cables
connected from the DVD player/satellite
receiver to VIDEO 1 on the TV.
Do not connect a standard video cable and
an S-video cable to VIDEO 1 (or VIDEO 2)
at the same time, or the picture performance
will be unacceptable.
To prevent the TV’s volume setting
from affecting the recorded sound
level, set AUDIO OUT to FIXED during
recording (see “Selecting variable
audio out” on page 35).
