The Pioneer ATSC does output composite, S Video, and Fire wire but no component out.
It is a little clumsy to record a ATSC show from the Pioneer ATSC Tuner/Plasma.
I presently have it hooked up to a VHS recorder and have recorded a few ATSC shows with S video but the results appear to have lost some of the color depth. There appears to be more brown tones in the copy.
This problem may go away when I connect it to the DVD recorder but not sure.
Also when I record from the Pioneer ATSC tuner I have to use monitor out and it generates this awful audio hum if I don't turn down the volume before the signal is output. It says right in the Pioneer manual to expect this hum. Kinda lousy if I do say so myself.
But it is away to record albeit rather clumsy.
I have not yet tried the fire wire which my cheap DVD recorder has as input but do not have a lot of hope it will work since the Pioneer Manual states that Fire wire will only work with a Digital VHS recorder which I do not presently own and am trying to get away from large VHS tapes anyway.
