Connecting a camcorder to the front
sockets
To copy camcorder recordings, you can use the front sockets. These
sockets are located behind the flap on the right hand side.
Recordings from the front sockets were stored on the HDD to make
editing easy. Then you can transfer (archive) them on a DVD+RW/+R.
Digital (DV) input socket
If you have a DV or Digital 8 camcorder, connect the DV IN
(CAM2) input of the DVD recorder to the appropriate DV output on
the camcorder.
Choose 'CAM2' as a programme number for this input.
During recording on the HDD or a DVD+RW/+R the original recording date
and time are stored as DVD subtitles.
On playback, this data can be displayed on the TV screen by using the
'Subpictures' (Play back from HDD) or the'
function.
S video input socket
If you have a Hi8 or S-VHS(C) camcorder, connect the S-VIDEO
(CAM1) input of the DVD recorder to the appropriate S-VHS output
on the camcorder.

DVD recorder to the audio output on the camcorder.
Choose 'CAM1' as a programme number for this input.

Connecting additional devices
Connecting audio devices to the digital
audio sockets
At the back of the DVD recorder there are two digital audio output
sockets OPTICAL OUT for an optical cable and COAX OUT for a
coaxial cable (Cinch cable).
These can be used to connect the following:
•) an A/V receiver or an A/V amplifier with a digital
multi channel sound decoder
•) a receiver with two channel digital stereo (PCM)
Digital multi-channel sound
Digital multi-channel sound offers the best possible sound quality. You
will need a multi-channel A/V receiver or amplifier that supports at least
one of the audio formats of the DVD recorder (MPEG2 and Dolby
Digital).
Consult the operating instructions for your receiver to find out which
audio formats it supports.

The receiver is not compatible with the digital audio format of the
DVD recorder. The audio format of the DVD disc is displayed in the
status window when you switch to another language. Playback in
six-channel digital surround sound is only possible if the receiver has
a digital multi-channel sound decoder.
