To record from a TV
Your Insignia DVD Recorder with VCR can be
used to record TV shows. However, unlike older
VCRs, you cannot connect it directly to an
antenna or cable TV wall outlet.
Audio and video connections
These connections can be made to either the
front or back of your recorder.
To connect your recorder to your TV if your
TV has Audio and Vidio output:
1 Connect the VIDEO IN jack on the recorder
to the VIDEO OUT jack on the TV using the
video cable supplied.
2 Connect the Left and Right AUDIO IN jacks
on the recorder to the AUDIO OUT left and
right in jacks on the TV using the supplied
audio cables.
To connect your recorder to your TV if your
TV does not have Audio and Video output:
1 Connect the VIDEO IN jack on the recorder
to the VIDEO OUT jack on the set-top box
using the video cable supplied.
2 Connect the Left and Right AUDIO IN jacks
on the recorder to the AUDIO OUT left and
right jacks on the set-top box using the
supplied audio cables.
3 Connect the set-top box to the TV with an
RCA (yellow) video cable, an s-video cable
(better) or component video cables (best).
4 Connect the audio L/R from the AUDIO OUT
on the set-top box to the AUDIO IN on the TV
with audio cables.
Making the recording
To record a TV show:
1 Turn on your TV and your recorder.
2 Press AV/INPUT on your recorder remote
control to select INPUT 1 (back), or INPUT 2
(front - if connected).
3 Insert a blank, recordable DVD or VHS tape
into your recorder.
4 Tune your TV (or set-top box) to the show
you want to record.
5 When ready to record, press REC on your
remote control.
6 When finished recording, press STOP.
To replay a recorded show, press PLAY on the
remote control. If you have recorded multiple
shows on the same DVD, press MENU and use
the arrow buttons to select a specific show.
Note
If your TV does not have an AV out, and if you are
not using a set-top box with extra AV outs, you
cannot use this product to record TV shows.
