This connection enables you to record
from video tape to a DVD±R/±RW and
allows the VCR to be used for playback if
the recorder is turned off.
IMPORTANT!
Your new recorder can replace the
VCR for all your recording needs.
Just unplug all the connections to
your VCR.

Helpful Hints:
– Most commercial video cassettes and
DVDs are copy-protected and therefore
cannot be recorded.
– Connect the recorder directly to the TV. If
there is a VCR or an additional device in
between, the picture quality may be poor
because of the copy protection system built
into this recorder.
