You can dub them onto the VCR connected to the OUTPUT terminal.
(The OUTPUT terminal cannot output S-VIDEO signals or component video signals. Also it
cannot output any signals when the TV is turned off.)
· Connect components outputting a component signal (Y/CB/CR signal), such as a DVD player, to
the VIDEO-2 terminal, and set VIDEO-2 SET function to "COMPONENT". (See page 14.)
