inputs and outputs. However, you must choose
one type of connection or the other for all connec-
tions in your system. This will depend on the type
of connections on your television. If both types of
connections are available, we recommend that
you purchase S-Video cables and make those
connections for superior picture quality. The
composite video connections will also provide
excellent results. However, the DCR600
convert from one type of signal to the other.

meter for precise level adjustment, start by
in Dolby Pro Logic II mode
setting the volume so that the meter reads
