Connecting Two Vcrs; Connecting A Vcr To The Rec Out Jacks - Toshiba 51HX93 Owner's Manual

Connecting two VCRs

You will need:
two coaxial cables
two sets of standard A/V cables
• For better picture performance, if VCR 1 has S-video, use an
S-video cable (plus the audio cables) instead of the standard video
cable. However, do not connect both types of video cable to
VIDEO 1 (or VIDEO 2) at the same time or the picture
performance will be unacceptable.
• If VCR 1 has mono audio, connect L/MONO on the TV (VIDEO 1)
to the audio out jack on VCR 1 using the white audio cable only.
• Do not connect the same VCR to the output and input jacks on the
TV at the same time.
To view the antenna or Cable signal:
Turn OFF the VCR. Select the ANT-1 video input source.*
• If you have both an off-air antenna and Cable TV, connect the
antenna to ANT-2 and the Cable TV to ANT-1 (ANT-1 and
VIDEO 1 are the only sources for the TV Guide On Screen
program guide).
To view VCR 1:
Select the VIDEO 1 video input source.*
To dub or edit from VCR 1 to VCR 2:
VCR 2 must select "line IN."
Select the VIDEO 1 video input source.*
Note: If you have a Cable box, connect the Cable box and splitter to
VCR1 as shown on page 13.

Connecting a VCR to the REC OUT jacks

If you connect an ATSC antenna or digital Cable service to ANT 1 or
ANT 2, or a digital device to one of the IEEE-1394 ports, you can use
the REC OUT jacks to record down-converted programs to an analog
VCR.
Note:
• The REC OUT jacks output only down-converted signals from an ATSC,
digital Cable, or IEEE-1394 source in an analog signal format.
The REC OUT jacks will not output a DVI video signal.
• For the best possible audio/video performance, when using an ATSC, digital
Cable, or IEEE-1394 source, it is recommended that you use the REC OUT jacks
(instead of A/V OUT or VAR AUDIO OUT) to connect to an external A/V system.
• This connection cannot be used for timed recordings.
• Because of copy protection requirements, the REC OUT jacks may be blocked
during playback of some IEEE-1394 content.
• See "Using the digital tuner hold" on page 61.
You will need:
one set of standard A/V cables
one coaxial cable
