Connecting the DVD Recorder
Connecting to a display device (TV or projector)
The DVD Recorder needs to be connected to a display device so that you can view a DVD being
played, and so that you can use the DVD Recorder On-Screen Display (OSD) menus.
You can connect the DVD Recorder to a display device using one of these possible methods:
• Component video cable: (not provided)
See "Connecting the DVD Recorder to a TV using a component video cable" on page 13.
• S-Video cable: (not provided)
See "Connecting the DVD Recorder to a TV using an S-Video cable" on page 14.
• Audio/Video cable (composite video): (provided)
See "Connecting the DVD Recorder to a TV using an A/V cable" on page 15.
• SCART cable (composite video): (not provided)
See "Connecting the DVD Recorder to a TV using a SCART cable" on page 16.
You need only connect the DVD Recorder to your display device using just one of the above
methods, as each provides a different level of video quality. The method you choose will most
likely depend upon the availability of terminals provided on the display device itself.
Best video quality
The best available video connection method is component video (not to be confused with
composite video). Digital TVs and projectors use component video natively, so if available on
your display device, this should be your connection method of choice.
Better video quality
The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard A/V. If you have
both A/V and S-Video input terminals on your display device, you should elect to use the S-
Video option.
Least video quality
You at least need a display device (TV or projector) with A/V or SCART compatibility. This is a
composite analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less than optimal result
from your DVD player, being the least video quality of the available methods described here.
Recording TV channels
The DVD Recorder also needs to be connected to the TV antenna cable so that it can record TV
signals onto DVD for you. The TV RF (fly-lead) cable allows you to select and view a TV
channel on the TV, even while the DVD Recorder is recording another channel, or is turned
off. See "Connecting the DVD Recorder to the TV antenna cable" on page 17.
Connecting to a sound system
You can connect the DVD Recorder to a digital or analog audio device (such as a sound
system) using an appropriate audio cable (not provided).
See "Connecting the DVD Recorder to your surround sound system" on page 18, or
see "Connecting the DVD Recorder to your stereo sound system" on page 20.
