This illustration shows how to connect a VCR for record-
ing from a TV or another VCR.
Notes:
• The HT-R820THX 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 HT-R820THX,
connect 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.
