Record From A Video Camera Or Vcr - Toshiba RS-TX60 Viewer's Manual

Record from a Video Camera or VCR

In addition to recording your favorite TV programs, your Digital Media Server can also
record from a video camera or VCR—the first step in transferring your old home movies
to DVD. These recordings appear on the Now Playing List, with titles you choose.
Recordings you make from a video camera or VCR have much in common with recorded
TV programs. For example, if the recording causes disk space conflicts or upcoming
program schedule conflicts, you will be notified and given the option to continue or
cancel. You can also set the recording quality, and specify how long the recording will be
saved on the Now Playing list.
While recording from a video camera or VCR, all other DMS functions are unavailable.
No TV programs will be recorded, and you cannot watch live TV, play DVDs or CDs, or
watch other recordings from Now Playing.
Setting Up the Recording
1. Connect your video camera or VCR to the DMS using the inputs on the front panel.
Choose the best input(s) that will work with your video camera or VCR:
S-Video. If you use an S-Video cable to connect your video camera or VCR, you will
also need to connect the red and white ends of a Composite A/V cable for audio.
Composite A/V. Use the yellow end of a Composite A/V cable for video, and the red
and white ends for audio. If your video camera or VCR has only one audio out jack,
use just the white end.
DV. If your video camera or VCR has a DV output jack, this is the best connection to
use. A DV cable carries both audio and video.
2. Go to TiVo Central ® and select Pick Programs to Record, then "Record from a Video
Camera or VCR."
