Back of a VCR
(Example only)
Connecting to a VCR or
other similar device
This connection enables you to record
from video tape to a DVD±R/±RW and
allows the VCR to be used for playback if
the recorder is turned off.
IMPORTANT!
Your new recorder can replace the
VCR for all your recording needs.
Just unplug all the connections to
your VCR.
A
Connect the Antenna/Cable TV signal to
the ANTENNA-IN jack on the
recorder.
B
Use a RF coaxial cable to connect the
TV-OUT jack on the recorder to
the antenna input jack on your TV (VHF/
UHF RF IN).
C
Use the audio/video cables to connect
the VIDEO /AUDIO INPUT (red/
white/yellow) on the recorder to the
matching VIDEO/AUDIO output jacks on
the VCR.
D
Use the audio/video cables to connect
the VIDEO/AUDIO OUTPUT (red/
white/yellow) on the recorder to the

the TV.
Helpful Hints:
– Most commercial video cassettes and
DVDs are copy-protected and therefore
cannot be recorded.
– Connect the recorder directly to the
TV. If there is a VCR or an additional device
in between, the picture quality may be poor
because of the copy protection system built
into the recorder.
