Front of the DVD/VCR

COPY – Shortcut to transfer tapes (VCR) to disc (DVD), which is great for converting your camcorder recordings that are on videocassette tape to a DVD
disc. When you have a recordable DVD±R or DVD±RW disc in the DVD disc tray and a videocassette tape in the VCR, press COPY (the VCR starts
playing and the DVD/VCR starts recording automatically).
STANDBY/ON – Turns the DVD/VCR on and off.
VCR Buttons
PLAY/PAUSE – Starts playback. During playback, pauses playback.
STOP/EJECT – When playing a tape, stops playback. When tape isn't playing, ejects the tape.
REV – Rewinds the tape.
FWD – Fast forwards the tape.
RECORD – Records to a videocassette tape.
INPUT – Just like a TV has Video Input Channels (page 22), the DVD/VCR has one Video Input Channel for each set of INPUT jacks. The Video
Input Channel is the "channel" to which you tune the DVD/VCR so you can see the picture and hear the sound that's coming from the component that
is connected to the DVD/VCR's INPUT jacks. For example, if you connected your camcorder to the Audio and Video Input jacks on the front of the
DVD/VCR, you would press the SOURCE button until FAV (Front audio/video jacks) appears.

CH-/SKP– (channel down/skip reverse) – Goes to the previous channel in the channel list when you're watching TV. When playing a disc, goes to the beginning of the
current chapter or track unless you're within the fi rst minute of a chapter or the fi rst 15 seconds of a track—then, you'll skip to the beginning of the preceding chapter or
track.
CH+/SKP– (channel up/skip forward) – Goes to the next channel in the channel list when you're watching TV. When playing a disc, goes to the beginning of the next
title, chapter, or track on a disc (in effect,"skipping" the title, chapter, or track).
PLAY/PAUSE – Starts playback of a disc. Pauses recording or playback.
STOP/OPEN/CLOSE – Stops playback and/or recording. Opens and closes the disc tray.
RECORD – Records content to a DVD disc (DVD+R or DVD+RW discs only).
Front Input Jacks:
INPUT 2: Audio/Video jacks – These Input jacks are provided for convenience when you're connecting a temporary component, such as a camcorder.
S-VIDEO – If a component you're connecting, such as a camcorder, has an S-Video Output jack connect it to this jack for picture quality that is better than regular video
(yellow). Remember, you still have to connect audio cables to hear sound.
DV IN – This jack is provided when you're connecting a DV camcorder through a IEEE 1394 Firewire connection.
