Using the SCART output function
This function allows you to record DTV progremmes with a 
connected VCR or other recording equipment while enjoying 
watching the Plasma Display as usual. With this function, you 
can also easily enjoy timeshift playback when a DVD recorder 
(DVR) is in connection.
The following diagram assumes that you connect a Pioneer 
DVR-920H/DVR-930H to the Media Receiver 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 64) and select
“Fixed on DTV” for “SCART Output” in the Setup menu.
• On the DVD recorder (DVR), select the video/audio input
source matching the external input terminal to which the 
Media Receiver has been connected. For this method, see 
the operation manual that came with the recorder.
• Select the input source on the Media Receiver depending on
the terminal to which the output of the DVD 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 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 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 recorder (DVR).
