15 Connecting your DVD recorder
You can connect a VCR to the DVD recorder’s IN-EXT 2 and OUT 2 sockets.
If you have an S-VHS VCR, you could connect the DVD recorder’s S-VIDEO output
to an S-Video input on the VCR, and connect the DVD recorder’s AUDIO L/R outputs
to analog audio inputs on the VCR.
You can transfer your home movies to DVD by connecting your camcorder to the AV
sockets on the DVD recorder’s front panel, as shown.
Best picture quality
If you have a DV or Digital 8 camcorder, using its i-link cable (7), connect the cam-
corder’s i-link DV output to the DVD recorder’s DV input.
During the transfer, the original recording dates and times of your home movies will be
recorded on the DVD as subtitles. During DVD playback, you can view this information
by using the Subtitle function.
Very good picture quality
If you have a Hi-8 or S-VHS-C camcorder, using an S-Video cable (5), connect the cam-
corder’s S-Video output to the DVD recorder’s S VIDEO input. And, using an AUDIO
L/R cable (4), connect the camcorder’s analog audio outputs to the DVD recorder’s
AUDIO L/R inputs.
Good picture quality
If your camcorder only has a composite video output, using a composite video cable,
connect the camcorder’s composite video output to the DVD recorder’s VIDEO input.
And, using an AUDIO L/R cable (4), connect the camcorder’s analog audio outputs to
the DVD recorder’s AUDIO L/R inputs.
Connecting a VCR
Notes
Most prerecorded video cassettes and DVDs are copy protected. If you
try to copy them, the message “COPY PROT” will appear on the DVD
recorder’s display.
If the DVD recorder displays the message “NO SIGNAL” when copying a
video cassette:
• Check that the cables are connected securely.
• Try adjusting the VCR’s tracking function.
• The DVD recorder may not recognize the video signal if it’s weak or does not
conform to normal video standards.
When copying DVD-Video discs or prerecorded video cassettes, the pic-
ture is fuzzy and the brightness changes continuously?
• This happens when you copy a DVD or video cassette that uses copy protection.
Playback of the original is OK, but the DVD+R(W) recording will be unwatch-
able. This is normal with copy-protected DVDs and video cassettes.
