Back of the DVD Recorder
The back of your recorder might look a little overwhelming at first.This section explains what goes where and wh)_There are two sets of jacks on the
back of your DVD Recorder m INPUT jacks and OUTPUT iacks.
Each jack is explained individually below, but the basic idea is about sending and receiving information to be played on or through your DVD
Recorder and displaying that information on your TV screen.We calJ it Signal Plow.
INPUT The cables connected to INPUT iacks bring the signal that carries the content iNTO the DVD Recorder, such as the cable signal
(programming) from the cable company or satellite programming from a s=teUite receiver.
OUTPUT The cables connected to the OUTPUT jacks are sending the signal from the DVD Recorder to the TV so you can see it on the
screen.The correct cables must be connected to the DVD Recorder's Ou_ut jacks and the corresponding Input Jacks on the TV so you can see
the program on the TV
Explanation of Jacks (from left to right)
RF ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT: Connect an RF Coaxial cable from an off-air antenna, cable box, or cab{e oudet to this iack.The cable is send-
ing the programming from the source to the DVD Recorde_ Our connections show the cable coming from an 2Way Splitter (which enables you
to watch one program on TV while you record another).
INPUT: These iacks receive audio and video from a compatible component, such as a sateffite receiver. INPUT 2 jacks are on the front of the
DVD Recorder.
VIDEO: Color coded yellow,the video cab{eyou usewith this iack provides better quality than an RF Coaxial cable but isn't as good as
S-Video.Connect corresponding video cable to a compatible component such asa satellite receiver.
AUDIO L (left): Color coded white, connect corresponding audio cable to a compatib{e component such as a satellite receiver.
AUDIO R (right): Color coded red, connect corresponding audio cable to a compatible component such as a satellite receivea
S-VIDEO IN: if your satellite receiver has S-VIDEO, connect the S-Video cable to this iack because it provides better picture quality than
standard video.

DIGITALAUDIO (OPTICAL and COAXIAL): Use one of these jacks to connect your DVD Recorder to a Do,by Digital or DTS receiver or
decoder. Some receivers have either the COAXIAL or OPTICAL type of Digital Audio Input jack, and some have both. Under most conditions, optical
and coaxial connections work equally well -- the only difference is the type of cable you connect to the jack.
Rare_y,but sometimes, coaxial digital cables -- especially long ones, pick up radio frequency (RF) interference from household appliances,nearby power
lines, and/or broadcast towers. _fyou want to use a less expensive cable, connect a coaxial cable to the COAXtAL jack if your receiver has a Coaxial
input jack.
