Connection tips  
Before making any connections, turn off the power to all  
components.  
Connect to the OUTPUT  
so that VCR 1 can be used as a recording machine.  
(Connect the output terminals on VCR 2 to the INPUT  
terminals on the JX-S555

Although it is not required to connect both the S-VIDEO  
terminal and VIDEO terminals (yellow), it is recommended  
to connect the S-VIDEO terminals if your TV and/or VCR  
have the S-VIDEO inputs/outputs.This will allow you enjoy  
video with a higher picture quality.

If both the S-VIDEO input terminal and the VIDEO input ter-  
minal are connected between the VCR and the JX-S555,  
the signal from the S-VIDEO input terminal is given priority.

Useful Tips  
S-VIDEO input/output connectors  
The S-VIDEO input/output connectors are terminals for the  
Y/C (luminance/chrominance) separate video signals.  
If these connectors are connected to a VCR equipped with  
S-VIDEO connectors, recording and playback of clearer  
video becomes possible by reducing loss in the video sig-  
nal.  
A VCR not equipped with S-VIDEO connectors should be  
connected to the VIDEO terminals, which transmit the sig-  
nal obtained by synthesizing the Y/C signals (composite  
signal).

TV  
Component connection is recommended when connecting  
a DVD player or DBS (equipped with component input ter-  
minals) to a TV.  
Since a DVD disc is encoded with a component video (Y  
color difference) signal format it can reproduce better quality  
color than the composite or S-VIDEO signal used in a VCR.  
With a component connection, the signal encoded on a DVD  
disc can be output in its original form to maintain the high-  
est quality picture.
