Connecting the Recorder to Other Devices
There are numerous connections on the rear of the recorder that may be used to connect to
other devices for video and audio playback and recording.
Connecting to a Display Using Component Video
Component video offers higher quality than all other video outputs on the recorder. In addition,
you can configure the component video output to transmit progressive scan video, which offers
crisp, flicker-free video.
The Y, Pb, and Pr outputs in the VIDEO OUT block on the rear of the recorder are the recorder’s
component video outputs.
To connect to a display using component video:
1. Using three RCA cables, connect the
Y, Pb, and Pr outputs in the VIDEO
OUT block on the rear of the
recorder to the corresponding
component video inputs on the
display.
2. If you would also like to connect the
audio output to the display, connect
the FR (right) and FL (left) outputs
in the AUDIO OUT block on the rear
of the recorder to the display’s
audio input.
3. If you have connected the audio
output to the display, go to the
Setup menu, select the Playback
sub-menu and set Analog Audio
Output to 2 CH (see “Playback” on
page 36).

S-Video offers higher quality than composite video, but lower quality than component video.
The S-Video output is located in the VIDEO OUT block on the rear of the recorder.
To connect to a display using S-Video:
1. Using an S-Video cable (not
included), connect the S-Video
output in the VIDEO OUT block on
the rear of the recorder to the
display’s S-Video input.
2. If you would also like to connect the

Connecting to a Display Using Composite Video
Composite video is the most common video connection, but offers lower quality than either
S-Video or component video. The yellow Video output in the VIDEO OUT block on the rear of the
recorder is the recorder’s composite video output.
To connect to a display using composite video:
1. Using an RCA cable, connect the
Video output in the VIDEO OUT
block on the rear of the recorder to
the display’s composite video
input.
2. If you would also like to connect the

RF IN.
To connect a television signal to the
recorder:
1. Using a coaxial cable (not included),
connect the signal source to the RF IN
jack on the rear of the recorder.
2. If you would like to connect the same
signal source to another device as well,

Connecting Other Audio/Video Sources to the Recorder
There are three audio/video inputs on the recorder, one on the front and two on the rear. Each
has an S-Video input, a composite video input, and a stereo audio input.
In addition, there is a 4-pin IEEE 1394 (i.LINK/FireWire) input on
the front of the recorder.
You can record the video signal from any one of these sources to
DVD.
To connect a digital audio/video (IEEE 1394) source to the
recorder, use an IEEE 1394 cable to connect the device to the
DV IN input on the front of the recorder.
To connect analog audio/video sources to the recorder:
1. Select an audio/video input from the three available on the recorder.
Note: You should use the input on the front of the recorder for non-permanent connections,
such as to a camcorder when transferring its recorded video to DVD.

Recording DVDs
Your DVD recorder can record up to six hours of video on a 4.7GB disc from any of the three
analog audio/video sources, the IEEE 1394 input, or the television tuner.
Upon inserting a blank disc, the recorder will immediately begin to format the disc to prepare it
for recording. This takes a few minutes, and a message will display on the screen informing you
that the formatting is in progress.
Supported Media Types
The recorder will record to DVD+R and DVD+RW discs. It will not record to DVD-R/RW or
DVD-RAM discs, so be sure you obtain DVD+R or DVD+RW discs for use with your recorder.
DVD+R discs may be written to only once—that is, any recording on a DVD+R is permanent.
However, you can add video to a DVD+R disc that still has empty space.
DVD+RW discs may be written to over and over again, as many as 1000 times, allowing you to
overwrite old video or edit any video currently on the disc.
About DVD Layout
DVDs are divided into titles and chapters.
Titles are generally used for full movies, shows, clips, etc.
There are usually only a few titles on a DVD.
Titles are further divided into chapters. Chapters are
generally used for individual scenes or coherent sections of
video. This allows you to navigate directly to a specific
scene or section of video. There are often many chapters in
a given title.
For example, if you had two movies on a DVD, each movie would inhabit its own title. The titles
would then be divided into chapters, one for each movie scene.
In recording DVDs, the recorder saves each recording session in a separate title. You can then edit
the DVD and create chapters within each title.
TITLE TITLE TITLE
CHAPTER CHAPTER CHAPTER
The LCD Readout
When in DVD record mode, though not actually recording, the first three digits of the readout
indicate the current signal source—if the source is television, “CHANNEL” will illuminate and the
first two digits will indicate the current channel. The last two digits on the readout indicate the
current quality setting.
When recording a DVD, the first two digits of the readout indicate the current signal. The rest of
the digits indicate the current recording time count.
When in Edit Mode (see “Using Edit Mode” on page 22), the first two digits of the readout
indicate the current title. The rest of the digits indicate the current playback time.
The rest of the readout behaves as described in “Understanding the LCD Readout” on page 11.
