Connecting your video recorder to
the TV set
The necessary cable connections must be made
before you can record or play-
back TV programmes using
your video recorder.
We recommend that you use a
scart cable to connect your TV
and video recorder.

ready:
an aerial cable (1, sup-
plied), a scart cable (2, not
supplied).

cable plug from your TV
set. Insert it into the
AERIAL at the back of
the video recorder.
2. 2.Insert one end of the
supplied aerial cable
into the RF OUT at the
back of the video
recorder and the other
end into the aerial input
socket at the back of
the TV set.
3. 3.Plug one end of a scart
cable into the scart
socket ‘TV’ at the back
of the video recorder
and the other end into
the suitable scart sock-
et on your TV reserved
for the video recorder operation (see your TV's
operating instructions).
4. 4.Switch on the TV.
5. 5.Insert AC cable into the wall socket
6. 6.If the connection was properly made and your TV
was automatically switched to the programme
number for the scart socket, you will see the fol-
lowing picture:

What is a scart cable?
The scart or Euro AV cable serves as the universal
connector for picture, sound and control signals. With
this type of connection, there is practically no loss of
quality during the picture or sound transfer.

should I use?
Select that scart socket which is suited for the
video output as well as for the video input.

Many TVs are switched to the programme number
for the scart socket by way of a control signal sent
through the scart cable.
If the TV does not automatically switch to the scart
socket programme number, manually change to
the corresponding programme number on your TV
(see your TV's operating instructions).
