Connecting A Vcr Or Dvd Recorder - Pioneer VSX-C501-S Operating Instruction

Connecting your equipment

Connecting a VCR or DVD recorder

For video recording, connect a VCR or DVD recorder to
the DVR/VCR IN/OUT jacks. The DVR/VCR OPT2 jack for
optical digital input means that you can play digital
sound tracks from a DVD (or other digital) recorder.
1 Use two 3-pin AV cables to connect the DVR/VCR
IN/OUT jacks to a set of audio/video input/output
jacks on your VCR, DVD recorder (or other video
component).
This allows playback from and recording to the VCR/DVR
(or other component).

DVR/VCR OPT2 jack to an optical digital audio output
on your DVD recorder (or other video component).
This connection carries stereo and multichannel digital
audio.
Note
• If your video component doesn't have a digital audio
output, omit step 2 above.
• In order to record, you must connect the analog
audio cables (the digital connection is for playback
only).
