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).
4. In the Setup menu, select the
General sub-menu and set Video
Output Format as appropriate for
your display (see “General” on
page 35).
5. Also in the General sub-menu, set
Progressive/Interlace as desired.
Note: Progressive scan only works
with component video con-
nections to displays that sup-
port it. Check to ensure your
display supports progressive
scan before configuring the
recorder to use it.

The AUDIO OUT block on the rear of the recorder contains the recorder’s 5.1 channel surround
sound outputs.
To connect to an audio system using
5.1 channel surround sound:
1. Using six RCA cables, connect each of
the outputs in the AUDIO OUT block on
the rear of the recorder—FR (front
right), FL (front left), C (center), SW
(subwoofer), SR (surround right), and SL
(surround left)—to the corresponding
audio system inputs.
2. In the Setup menu, select the Playback
sub-menu and set Analog Audio Output
to 5.1 CH (see “Playback” on page 36).
3. Also in the Playback sub-menu, select Speaker Setting and select the desired 5.1 channel
output settings (see “Speaker Setting” on page 37).

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.
2. If you would like to use S-Video, which
offers higher quality video than
composite, connect an S-Video cable
(not included) between the video
source and the S-Video input in the
input block selected in step 1 above.
If you would like to use composite
video, connect an RCA cable between
the video source and the Video input in
the input block selected in step 1 above.
3. Using two RCA cables, connect the
audio source to the L (left—white) and
R (right—red) inputs in the input block
selected in step 1 above.
