Connecting AV Components
—Continued
Video Connections
Use a component video cable to connect the TX-L55’s
COMPONENT VIDEO 2 IN to the component video
output on your D-VHS VCR, as shown.
Your TV must also be connected via component video.
A component video connection provides better picture
quality than an S-Video connection.
Audio Connections
• Use an optical digital audio cable to connect the
TX-L55’s OPT 2 DIGITAL INPUT to the optical
output on your D-VHS VCR, as shown.
OR
• Use a coaxial digital audio cable to connect the
TX-L55’s COAX DIGITAL INPUT to the coaxial
output on your D-VHS VCR, as shown.
You might need to change the digital input assignments
(see page 31).
Video Connections
• Use an S-Video cable to connect the TX-L55’s
S VIDEO 1 OUT to an S-Video input on your
recording VCR.
OR
• Use a composite video cable to connect the TX-L55’s
V VIDEO 1 OUT to a composite video input on your
recording VCR.
Audio Connections
• Use an analog audio cable to connect the TX-L55’s
AUDIO VIDEO 1 L/R OUTs to the audio inputs on
your recording VCR.
This illustration shows how to connect a VCR for record-
ing from a TV or another VCR.
Notes:
• The TX-L55 must be turned on for recording.
Recording is not possible while it’s in Standby mode.
• If you want to record directly from your TV or play-
back VCR without going through the TX-L55, con-
nect your TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly
to your recording VCR’s AV inputs. See the manuals
supplied with your TV and VCR for details.
•Video signals connected to composite video inputs
can only be recorded via composite video outputs. If
your TV and video playback components are con-
nected via composite video, you must connect your
recording VCR via composite video as well. Similarly,
video signals connected to S-Video inputs can only be
recorded via S-Video outputs. If your TV and video
playback components are connected via S-Video, you
must connect your recording VCR via S-Video as
well.
