Explanation of mnput jacks and Cables
This section describesthe jacksaridcablesyou can usetomakeconnections (only a coaxial cableanda set of audio/video cablesare packedwith your DVD/VCR--you can
purchaseother cablesby calling 1-800-338-0376,order onfne at s_*w.rca,com, or goto your local electronics store),There are several 'waysto connect your DVD/VCR to
yourTV dependingupon the cablesyou haveandthe jacksthat are on the back ofyour TV.
Different jacksandcablesprovide a different levelof performance, It'simportant to remember,we're r_lking about degrees of picture improvement for comparison. Ifyour TV
hasComponent iacks (Y,Pb,Pr),S-VIDEO,andcomposite video (often color-coded yellow andgrouped with Audio Leftand Rightjacksthat arewhite and red); Component
(Y,Pb,Pr),would be considered excellent, S-Videowould bevery good, andthe composite video jack (yellow) would beconsidered good,

Component Video (Y_ Pb, Pr) Jacks and Cables
TheY,Pb,Priacks provide optimum picture qualitybecausethe video is separatedinto three signals
(two signalsare dedicatedto the color portion of the image,andthe other signalisdedicated to the
black andwhite part of the image).
To ensure maximum picture quafty, usethree video-gradecables(no_ supplied)for the connection.
You can purchasebundled component video cables(not supplied) that are color-coded to match the
Y,Pb,Pr jacks (red,green, andblue),ComponentVideo Input iacksare usually found on high-endTVs,
suchas HDTVs; multimedia monitors; andsome of the"flat" LCD and PlasmaTVs or monitors,
Notes;
Also,remember to connectthe left and right audio cablesbecause the Y, Pb, Pr jacks and cables

Back of the DVDiVCR
The backof your recorder might look alittle overwhelming at first,This section explainswhat goes where andwhy.There are two sets of jackson the back of your DVD/
VCR--INPUT jacksand OUTPUT jacks,
Eachjack is explained individuallybelow',but the basicidea is about sendingandreceiving information to beplayedon or through your DVD/VCR and displayingthat
information on your TV screen,
iNPUT The cablesconnected to INPUT jacks bring the signalthat carries the content INTO the DVD/VCR, suchas the cable signal(programming)from the cable company
or satellite programming from a satellite receiver.
OUTPUT The cablesconnected to the OUTPUT jacksare sendingthe signalfrom the DVD/VCR OUTTO your TV so you can seeit on the screen,Thecorrect cables
must be connected to the DVD/VCP.'sOutput jacksandthe corresponding Input Jacl<son theTV so you canseethe program on theTKYou must also tune theTV to the
correct channelcalled aVideo Input Channel(for details,go to page 18),
Expmanationof_ack_ (fe_ meltto _i_h9
CH3/Ch4 Switch This switch is alsofound onVCRs--it correspondsto the TV channelyou would useto watch atape ifyou only haveyour TV connected to the DVD/
VCRwith an RFCoaxial Cable via the CABLE/ANTENNA OUTPUT iack (if the switch is set to CH3, you would tune theTV to channel3). However,the connections
illustrated in the User's Guide show a preferred connection usingaudio/video cablesor an S-Videocable.
CABLE/ANTENNA INPUT: Connect an RFCoaxial cablefrom anoff-air antenna,cablebox,or cable outlet to this jack.The cable issendingthe programming from the
source to the DVD/VCR.
CABLE/A_TE_A OU'|"POT: Connect an RFCoaxial cable(provided) to this jack and to the Cable/Antenna Input jack on your T_L
INPUT: Thesejacks receiveaudio and video from acompatible component, suchasa satellite receiver.Another set of Input Jacks(INPUT 2) are on the front of the DVD/
VCRfor temporarily connecting components suchas a camcorder or a video game unit.
VIDEO, Color coded yeJJow_the video cableyou usewith this jack provides better quality thanan RFCoaxialcable but isn't asgood as S-Video.Connect
corresponding video cable to a compatible component suchas asatellite receiver or cablebox.
AgD|O L(lefe): Color coded white,connect corresponding audio cableto acompatible component suchasa satellite receiver or cablebox.
AUDIO _ (right.): Color coded red,connect corresponding audio cableto acompatible component suchasa satellite receiver or cablebox.
$_V_DEO
iN: If your satellite receiver or cablebox hasanS-VIDEOoutput jack,cormect anS-Video cableto this jack becauseit provides better picture quality than standard
video (the yellow jack).
OUT: If yourTV hasartS-Videojack,connect anS-Video cableto the TWsS-VIDEOjack andto this S-VlDEO OUT jack on the DVD/VCR to achieveberber picture
quality than sr4ndardvideo (the yellow lack).
Graphics contained within this publication are for representa':ion only.
OUTPUT: These jacksseedthe content (audio andvideo) flora your DVD/VCR OUT to theTV so you can seeit on the TV screenand hear it through the TV'sspeakers.
VIDEO: Color coded yellow, the video cableyou usewith this jack provides better quality thanan RFCoaxial cable but isn't asgood as S-Video.
AUB|O L (_ef_): Color coded white, connect corresponding audio cable to TV'sAudio Left InputJack,
AUDIO R (right): Color coded red,connect corresponding audio cable toTV's Audio Right Input lack.
¢OHPON_T VJBEO OUTPUT (% Pb_P_) - BVD PLAYBACK O_LY: Somehigh-endTVsand monitors haveComponentVideo input jacks.Thecablesthat send
the video signalthrough these Output lacks provide the highest resolution becausethe video signalis divided into ] separate parts (cablesnot suppliedwith DVD/VCR),As
withVlDEO and SoVIDEO,CONPONENTVIDEO (Y,Pb,Pr) only carries the picture signalso you need to connect the audio cablesso you'll hear the sound. Ifyour TV has
COHPONENT INPUT jacks,usethree video grade cablesto connect _heDVDNCR to thesejacks on theTV to get the best picture quality.However, makesureyou also
connect another video cable(either a RFcoaxialcableto the CABLE/ANTENNA OUTPUT jack;the yellow cableto theVlDEO Output bck; or anSoVideocableto the
SoVlDEOOUT jack) becauseyou can only use ComponentVideo for DVD Playback.You'llneedto haveanotherVideo Output connected for playbackofVCR tapes,
D|G|TAL AUDIO OPTICAL OUT -DVD PLAYBACK ONLY: Ifyou havea Dolby Digital or DTS receiver or decoder
with a DigitalAudio Optical input bck, you canachieveenhancedsound quality during DVD PLAYBACKby connectinga
digital optical cable (not supplied),
Note: _ake sure you connect regn_araudio cables in addition to connecting a Digital Audio cable because you can on_yuse the D_G_TALAUD_Oconnection for DVD
Playback. Jf you'repJayinga VCRtape in analog mode (necessary for recording to DVDdisc and p_ayinga tape at the same time) you'll need the other audio cables
connected because the sound from the D_G_TALAUDIOwon't match up with the video in analog mode causing a "a ffp sync" problem.
P_OG. SCAN switch - if you've connected your DVD/VCR to aTV thac usesprogressive scanningto displaythe imageviathe_ Pb,Pr bcks,turn the switch to the "on"
position for progressivescanplaybackof DVD discs,Typically,only some High Definition Televisionsandhigh-end mukimedia monitors use progressivescanning.Leavethe
switch in the OFFposition for S-VIDEO or reguJarVlDEO(yellow') connections.
Note: Jf you tern the P_0G SCANswitch on, and your TV isn't capable of progressive scanning you won't see a dear picture on the TVscreen.Additionally, when
