Output to TV through
your video recorder

record it on your
video recorder, you can connect
through your video recorder. There
are two ways to do this: you can use
line connectors (composite, S-video
or SCART) or antenna/cable TV
connectors. A line connection is
higher quality, but some TVs only
have an antenna or cable TV input
connector.

Connect your computer output to your video recorder input (see steps 2 and 4 starting
on page 10).
