DVD recorders make it easy to record your favorite TV programs for viewing at a later time. You can connect a DVD recorder to an HDTV (high-definition television) with a simple audio/video cable available at most electronics stores. Although DVD recorders cannot capture the resolution of high-definition television programs, your recordings will look and sound better than standard-definition TV. Just follow these steps to make the connection.
Instructions
1. Turn off all equipment.
2. Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the back of the HDMI jack on your HDTV.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the HDMI jack on the DVD recorder.
4. Turn on the equipment and adjust the input setting on the DVD recorder to the jack connecting the recorder to the TV. For example, from the input setting on the remote control, select L1, L2 or L3, which correspond to the different jacks on the DVD recorder.
5. Set the TV to the video input for the jack connecting it to the DVD recorder. For example, Input 1 or Input 2.
