Using other types of video output
This recorder has standard (composite), S-video and component video outputs. The main difference between them is
the quality of the picture. S-video delivers a better picture than composite video, while component video gives better
picture quality still. The variety of outputs also gives you the flexibility of connecting your particular equipment using
the best connection type available.
1 Connecting using an S-video output
S-video carries the picture as separate color and
luminance (brightness) signals.
There are two S-video outputs for connection to TVs,
monitors, VCRs or other equipment.
•
Use an S-video cable (not supplied) to connect an
S-VIDEO OUTPUT (1 or 2) to an S-video input on your
TV, monitor (or other equipment).
2 Connecting using the component video output
Component video carries the picture as two separate
color signals, plus a luminance (brightness) signal.
