(2) Connecting devices with Svkleo or composite video inputs and outputs For components with S-video and/or composite video outputs, use the appropriate cables to connect them to your Companion'" controller • if your TV/monitor or VCR has composite video (yellow RCA/phono plug connections) inputs only, use only the composite video connections on the controller. • If your TV/monitor or VCR has both S-video and composite inputs, connect both Svideo and composite video to your controller to allow more choices when operating the system. Note: S-video and composite video are parallel, independent connections. For example, if an S-video signal comes into the controlleritmust go out as S-video. Some TVs automatically select S-video Input, if it is present. If your VCR has composite video connections only, an autoswitch TV selects the composite input when the VCR is the source. If your TV does not automatically select the video source, connect composite video to TV input 1 and S-video to TV input 2 so you can select which signal to receive. See Figure 10 for an example of a setup using S-video connections. 0• 0 6 Types of connections: Figure 10 AUCIO right and left Sample configuration using Composite video - S-video connections S-video RF i ! i !

Connect the SAT audio ouput to the controller SAT AUDIO left (L) and right (R) INPUTs. b. Connect your primary VCR to the controller S-video and/or composite video VCR INPUT(s) and the controller VCR AUDIO left (L) and right (R) INPUTs. Do not connect sources other than your VCR to the VCR connections. c. Connect the VCR OUTPUT L and R to your VCR audio L and R inputs. Connect VCR OUTPUT to the VCR video Input. When VCR is the source selected, you cannot record from the audio or video VCR outputs. Note: When you select VCR on the Companion system, video andaudio output from the controller to the VCR stays at the last source selected that was not VCR. Therefore, while recording on the VCR, selecting VCR does not switch from the source you are recording. d. Connect other video sources Qaserdisc player, second VCR, etc.) to the controller Svideo and/or composite video VIDEO 1 or 2 INPUT(s) and the VIDEO 1 or 2 AUDIO left (L) and right (R) INPUTs. Note: The Companion system is compatible with NTSC and most world video formats. However, youmay needadapters to connect these components to the system. 12

Connecting
devices
with
Svkleo
or
composite
video
inputs
and
outputs
For
components
with
S
-video
and/or
composite
video
outputs,
use
the
appropriate
cables
to
connect
them
to
your
Companion'"
controller
•
if
your
TV/monitor
or
VCR
has
composite
video
(yellow
RCA/phono
plug
connections)
inputs
only,
use
only
the
composite
video
connections
on
the
controller.
•
If
your
TV/monitor
or
VCR
has
both
S
-video
and
composite
inputs,
connect
both
S
-
video
and
composite
video
to
your
controller
to
allow
more
choices
when
operating
the
system.
Note:
S
-video
and
composite
video
are
parallel,
independent
connections.
For
example,
if
an
S
-video
signal
comes
into
the
controller
it
must
go
out
as
S
-video.
Some
TVs
automatically
select
S
-video
Input,
if
it
is
present.
If
your
VCR
has
composite
video
connections
only,
an
autoswitch
TV
selects
the
composite
input
when
the
VCR
is
the
source.
If
your
TV
does
not
automatically
select
the
video
source,
connect
composite
video
to
TV
input
1
and
S
-video
to
TV
input
2
so
you
can
select
which
signal
to
receive.
See
Figure
10
for
an
example
of
a
setup
using
S
-video
connections.

video
and
audio
output
from
the
controller
to
the
VCR
stays
at
the
last
source
selected
that
was
not

Therefore,
while
recording
on
the
VCR,
selecting
