OPERATING EXTERNAL DEVICES THROUGH YOUR JD-VD745
SENDING OUTPUT SIGNALS FROM YOUR JD-VD745 TO AN EXTERNAL DEVICE
Your JD-VD745 can send its video and audio content to an external device (typically a
TV), in order to be viewed on a larger screen, and heard on bigger speakers. There are
two ways that your JD-VD745 supplies these external signals. The first, called
"composite" video, combines video and audio content into a single
“
composite
”
cable,
which is supplied with your JD-VD745. On one end of the cable, there is a 1/8
”
(3.5mm)
miniature phone plug for connection to your JD-VD745
’
s A/V out jack. On the other end
of this cable, there are three RCA-type connectors, consisting of a YELLOW Video
connector, and two Audio connectors, one being WHITE (to carry left channel audio),
and the other RED (for right channel audio). When used only with an external TV, all
three RCA connectors plug into the TV, but when the TV is used in combination with an
audio system (for better sound), the two Audio connectors must be plugged into the
appropriate sound system inputs.
To achieve the same results, you can connect an S-VIDEO cable (not included) between
your JD-VD745
’
s S-VIDEO jack, and an external TV equipped with an S-VIDEO input
connector (and, if desired, an external audio system, as well). In either case, in addition
to the S-Video cable you will have to use the supplied Audio cable to provide sound to
the TV, or to the sound system (since the S-Video cable carries only video signals).
In some cases, you may want to your VCR to record DVD images being played on your
JD-VD745. In such cases, your cabling would be the same as shown on the Quick
Guide
’
s first two examples, but you must be aware that only non copy-protected DVDs
will record properly on your VCR. Attempting to record copy protected DVD video
material is illegal and will likely produce unsatisfactory results.
RECEIVING INPUT SIGNALS FROM EXTERNAL DEVICES AT YOUR JD-VD745
Your JD-VD745 is also capable of receiving and playing content from external devices
like VCRs, game consoles, audio systems, and portable CD players, using the
JD-VD745's LCD screen and speakers as the means for viewing the resulting images
and its audio content.
The Quick Guide contains an illustration of the proper techniques to do this in its third
example.
FINALLY, REMEMBER THE LINE SELECT SWITCH
Be sure that the JD-VD745
’
s LINE SELECT switch (item 23 on page 6) is placed in the
OUT position when you want the unit
’
s A/V output signals to be sent to the external
device(s). Similarly, the switch must be placed in the IN position to properly receive all
A/V input signals sent by the external device(s). Refer to the Quick Guide for
clarification and examples.
Your JD-VD745 comes with a one page Quick Connection Guide to
which you may want to refer when reading the following material.
