Displaying a DVD image
To watch a DVD image, press INPUT 2 on the remote control
unit or press INPUT on the Plasma Television to select INPUT2.
NOTE
• If DVD images do not come in clearly, you may need to
change the input signal type setting using the menu. See
page 52.
• Refer to your DVD player operation manual for the signal

Using the SCART output function
This function allows you to record DTV programmes with a
connected VCR or other recording equipment while enjoying
watching the Plasma Television as usual. With this function,
you can also easily enjoy timeshift playback when a DVD/HDD
recorder (DVR) is in connection.
The following diagram assumes that you connect a Pioneer
DVR-540H to the Plasma Television so that you can enjoy
timeshift playback with the recorder.
In addition to the above connections, you need to perform the
following:
• See “Switching the SCART output” (page 61) and select
“Fixed on DTV” for “SCART Output” in the Setup menu.
• On the DVD/HDD recorder (DVR), select the video/audio
input source matching the external input terminal to which
the Plasma Television has been connected. For this method,
see the operation manual that came with the recorder.
• Select the input source on the Plasma Television depending
on the terminal to which the output of the DVD/HDD
recorder (DVR) has been connected; for the above
connection example, select INPUT 2.
When you complete the above connections and setups, you
can then enjoy timeshift playback with the DVD/HDD recorder
(DVR). You can also select the 2-screen or picture-in-picture
mode to watch images coming from the DTV input source and
an external input source (INPUT 2 for the above connection
example) to which the output of the recorder has been
connected.
NOTE
• Some DVD/HDD recorders (DVRs) may not allow timeshift
playback. Check the operation manual that came with your
recorder.
• For details about connection and setting procedures, see the
operation manual that came with your DVD/HDD recorder
(DVR).
