Analog: Sound that has not been turned into numbers.Analog sound varies, while digital sound has specific numerical values.
Analog sound is available when you use the red and white audio jacks on your equipment.These jacks send audio through two
channels, the left and right.
AUDIO Jacks: Red and white jacks that send audio to other equipment (TV, Stereo, etc.) (OUT) or receive sound from other
equipment (IN).
COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack: Sends digital audio to a Stereo, letting you adjust the volume at the Stereo.The
Stereo must have a Coaxial In jack.This connection provides the 5.1 channel surround sound as heard in movie theaters.
Color system: There are various systems for transmitting television signals or a DVD picture, for example PAL, SECAM, and
NTSC. NTSC is the most common color system in the United States of America. The Recorder automatically selects the correct
color system of DVDs.
COMPONENT VIDEO Jacks: The OUT jacks send high-quality video to a TV that has Component Video In jacks.The IN jacks
allow the Recorder to receive high-quality video from other equipment, such as a DVD Player. The OUT jacks are also compatible
with Progressive Scan (if your TV has Progressive Scan).The IN jacks cannot receive Progressive Scan video.

the other side playing in a normal format.)
