Connecting a DVD recorder to a DVD player is a fast and efficient method for copying and burning a large number of DVDs at one time. As a stand-alone component, a DVD recorder must first copy the DVD and store the digital information temporarily to a hard drive. A blank, recordable disc is then placed in the DVD recorder for burning the program. By connecting a DVD player to a DVD recorder, you eliminate this two-step process. The DVD is copied directly during playback from one component.
Instructions
1. Disconnect both components from the power supply.
2. Plug audio/video cables into the output jacks of the DVD player by connecting the white audio cable to the white (left) output jack of the component, the red audio cable to the red (right) output jack, and the yellow video cable to the video output jack.
3. Connect the DVD recorder by plugging the white cable into the white (left) input jack on the back of the recorder, the red cable into the red (right) input jack, and the yellow video cable into the video input jack.
4. Connect the two components using an S-video cable if both components are equipped with an S-video jack.
5. Turn on the power.
6. Place the DVD to be copied in the DVD player and a blank, recordable disc in the DVD recorder.
7. Activate the playback on the DVD player and the record function on the DVD recorder.
