IMPORTANT? It is NOT possible to record content that is copy-protected. This is usually true for most pre-

recorded DVD discs and most pre-recorded VHS tapes,

Some discs may not

be compatible due to

laser pickup and disc

design.

TYPES OF DISCS YOU CAN PLAY

DVD discs - DVD movie discs (DVD ROM); DVD+R; DVD+RW: DVDRW (must be lecorded using vkteo mode

ol \"hi); DVD-}{ (must be recorded using video mode o_ VM and must be fin tlized). DVD audio discs are not

Video CD (VCD) - Like DVD _ideo discs, VCDs contain pictule md sound content. The difference is the amount

of inform _tion dHt cm be sto_ed on the disc. VCDs typicall) hwe lower pictme and sound qu _lity dam DVD discs.

You must use DV[)±R ot DV[:)±R_4 _discs to retold on your DVD recorder not VCDs.

Explanation of Input Jacks and Cables

This section describes the jacks and cables you can use to make connections. Some cables are supplied with your product or you can purchase other cables

by calling1800-338-0376, order online at _vw.rca.com, or go to Tour local dectronics store). There are several ways to connect yore DVD recorder to Tour TV

depending upon dle cables Tou have and the jacks dlat are on the back of your "I_

Diff2_rent jacks and cables pioxide a di_k-'rent level of pelfS)m3 u3ce. It's hnpoitant to lemembei, w&e t dking tbout degrees of picture hnprovement for

Notes;

Also, remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the Y, Pb, Pr

S-Video Jacks and Cables

The S Video (sepahlte video) jack plovides betteE plctme quabty than a composite video jack(sometimes labeled VIDEO and cob)l-coded )_'flow on TVs) because S-Video keeps tbe colol pa:t ofthe picture separate flora the black and white part of tbe picture. If yore _IV bas an S VIDE() jack,

connect the DVD Eeco:der to tbe TV with an S-Video cable for a better quality picture.

Back of the DVD Recorder

The back of your recoider might look a litde ow_lwhdming tt first. This section explains what goes where and _r_)_ There are t'_'o sets of jacks on the back

of yore¸ DVD recorder--INPUT jacks and OUTI)UT jacks.

Eacb jack is explained indix idually below, but tile basic idea is abotit sending and ::eceixing infi)_madon to 17(played on o_ throtigb yore DVD recorde_

INPUT -['he cables connected to the INPI JT jacks bring picnu'es and sound IN-['O the DVD Jecordel, such as the cable signal (progralmning) flora the

cable company or satellite programming horn a satellite JeceiveJ.

OUTPUT The cables connected to the OUTPUT jacks ate sending pictmes and sound flora the DVD reco_del OUT TO yore -IV so you can see it onthe screen. -[be coJrect cables must be cotmected to the I)VD Jecorder's Output jacks and the corresponding Input Jacks on the "I_/so you can see tbe

program on the "I\( You must also ttme the "IN' to the corlect channel, called a Video Input Channel (tbr details, go to page 20).

Explanation of Jacks (from left to right)

ANTENNA/CABLE IN - Conn_'ct an RF coaxial cable flora an oIfah antenna, cable box, or cabk _oudet to this jack. "I'h__cable is sending the

pmgiamming flora the somce to the DVD recoider.

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (¥, Pb, Pr) - Some higb end "IVs and monitoJs have Component Video Input jacks. -[he cables that send the vi&,o signal

thlough these Output jacks provide the highest resolution because the video signal is divided into 3 separate pairs (cables not supplied with DVD

recorder). As with VIDEO and S-VIDEO, COMPONENT VIDE() (Y, Pb, Pr) only cmties the pictule signal so you need to connect tbe audio cables so

you'fl hear the sou nd. If yore "IV has COMPONENT INPUT jacks, (lse thJee video grade canes to connect the DVD recorde_ to these jacks oil the "IV

to get tbe best picture quality.

Cable/Antemla Input jack or3 the back of yore TV (sometimes labeled CABL[/ANTENNA). It is

important to make this connection so you can watch cable o1:at3tel313apl:ogJams when the DVDlecorder is off.

2b, Connect the audio cables.

A set of audio/video cables was packed with your DVD recorder. Connect the audio cables to

the AUDIO OUTPIJT L (left white) and R (tight red) jacks on the back ofyotir DVD

Notes about cable boxes:

The connection diagram shown above reflects a basic setup. Since there are many different cable companies and types ofcables boxes, your cable box may come with a different recommended connection diagram. Normally, ANALOG cable boxesare used so that the cable company can scramble the signal for premium channel programming (like movie channels). Thecable box will descramble the signal if you are a premium channel subscriber. In some cases, your cable company may notscramble the signal for basic channels and the signal could be passed through the cable box so that you could receive thesignal with the DVD recorder.

There are also DIGITAL cable boxes that are relatively new and are used with digital cable service. Even with digital cable

service, analog signals are often carried on the same cable.

Using the connection diagram above, you won't be able to watch one program while recording another program. This maybe possible with a more sophisticated setup, using an optional signal splitter and A-B switch. We suggest you contact yourcable company for help in recommending the best setup for your situation.

If you connect your components as described, you must access different Video Input Channels on your TV to see

programming. If you don't know how to access Video Input Channels on your TV, go to page 20 for help. A general

explanation, based on the connection shown above, follows:

INotes about cable boxes:

The connection diagram shown above reflects a basic setup. Since there are many different cable companiesand types of cables boxes, your cable box may come with a different recommended connection diagram.Normally, ANALOG cable boxes are used so that the cable company can scramble the signal for premium channelprogramming (like movie channels). The cable box will descramble the signal if you are a premium channelsubscriber. In some cases, your cable company may not scramble the signal for basic channels and the signalcould be passed through the cable box so that you could receive the signal with the DVD recorder.

There are also DIGITAL cable boxes that are relatively new and are used with digital cable service. Even withdigital cable service, analog signals are often carried on the same cable.

Using the connection diagram above, you won't be able to watch one program while recording another pro-

gram. This may be possible with a more sophisticated setup, using an optional signal splitter and A-B switch.

We suggest you contact your cable company for help in recommending the best setup for your situation.

If you connect your components as described, you must access different Video Input Channels on your TV to

see programming. If you don't know how to access Video Input Channels on your TV, go to page 20 for help. A

general explanation, based on the connection shown above, follows:

To play a disc: Tune the TV to its Input 1 channel or Vid I channel

ff you need help finding your TV's various Video Input Channels, go to page 20.

ability to store CD-quality music tracks that are user hiendly and compJessed on a personalcomputer, rap3 (MPEG-3, which stands for Motion Picture Experts Group Layer 3, meaning the

third layer of iIlformation) is a folmat used to compress digital audio. Since dle audio is compressed,it takes up less space.

Note: You can only play true mp3 files in the DVD recorder--some products use

software to compress rap3 files and convert them to other formats such as MPX,

Your DVD recorder won't recognize or play MPX files or other types of converted

rap3 files,
