Get to Know Your Cables
The Recorder comes with a Composite A/V cable (shown below). Composite provides
excellent audio and video, and you can connect the Recorder to a TV or a/v receiver using
only this cable. All of the setup diagrams show connections using a Composite A/V cable.
The Recorder's back panel also includes premium connectors for S-Video and Component
Video cables, and for a Digital Audio cable. If you want the best quality audio and video
available, and you have equipment that supports these connections, you can purchase these
additional cables to use instead of the Composite A/V cables shown in the setup diagrams.
