Helpful Hints
• If your TV has Progressive Scan,
connect the DVD Recorder's
PROG SCAN OUT Y P
P
B
to the TV's Progressive Scan In
jacks (instead of using the COM-
PONENT VIDEO OUT jacks as
described in step 2). Progressive
Scan produces a clearer picture
by doubling the number of visible
picture lines per field, providing a
jitter-free, sharp, quiet picture.
Only use these connections if your
TV has Progressive Scan. Check
your TV manual for details.
• On the TV, the Component Video
In jacks may be labeled YUV or
Pr/Cr Pb/Cb Y and may be green,
blue, and red.
• If you plan to watch your TV with
the DVD Recorder off, connect
the supplied RF coaxial cable to
the Recorder's TV jack and to the
RF IN or ANTENNA IN jack (75
ohm) on your television. This lets
you watch channels at the TV
normally when the DVD Recorder
is off and will improve the recep-
tion at your TV.
