Your new recorder comes with composite video (A/V) cable for connection to TVs with a standard video input as
shown below. On most TVs, this connector is colored yellow, and is normally accompanied by stereo audio inputs,
colored red and white for stereo channels right and left, respectively.
First, use the supplied A/V cable to connect to
the composite video input on your TV. This is
normally a yellow-colored connector that
matches the Video output on the back of this
unit. To hear sound through the TV, connect the
red and white stereo audio connections as well.

With DVD+R/RW recording, you can create your own DVDs from your home movies, favorite TV shows or from other
video sources.
DVD+RW DVD+R
Think of DVD+RW (DVD+ReWritable) discs as the
digital equivalent of your old VHS tapes. Like video tape,
DVD+RW discs can be recorded to, erased and re-used.
But unlike video tape, DVD+RW discs will retain their
crystal-clear digital quality even after being erased and
re-recorded over 1000 times! And, this superior quality
will not degrade with the passage of time like VHS
tapes.
A lower-cost alternative to DVD+RW, these "Recordable"
discs cannot be erased. Once a recording is made to a
DVD+R disc, the disc space used by that recording can
never be reclaimed. DVD+R discs must be Finalized
before they can be played back on standard DVD
Players, and once this process is complete, no more
recordings can be added. This is an important difference
between DVD+R and DVD+RW Discs.
