Connecting the DVD recorder
Connecting to the TV
Choose from the following connections:
Connection with scart cable
Connection with S videocable
Connection with Video (CVBS) cable
Connection with the aerial cable
Connection with 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 in picture or sound transmission.
1 Plug a scart cable into the scart socket EXT1 TO TV-I/O at the
back of the DVD recorder and the scart socket for the DVD
recorder at the back of the TV set (see TV set operating
instructions).
Several scart sockets on the TV?
Select the scart socket that is suitable for both video output and for
video input.
Selection menu for the scart socket?
On some TV sets select 'VCR' as the source for this scart socket. Read
your instruction manual for your TV set for further information.

Connecting the DVD recorder
Connection with an S Video(Y/C)cable
This connecting cable, also known as the SVHS cable, is used to
transmit the brightness signal (Y signal) and colour signal (C signal)
separately. This mini DIN socket/plug is also called a Hosiden
socket/plug.
1 Insert one end of an S-Video(SVHS) cable into the S-VIDEO
OUT (Y/C) socket at the back of the DVD recorder and the other
end into the S-Video (SVHS) input socket on the TV set (usually
labelled 'S-Video in' or 'SVHS in'. See TV operating instructions).
2 Insert one end of an audio (Cinch) cable into the red/white Cinch
socket AUDIO OUT L/R at the back of the DVD recorder and
the other end into the audio input socket (usually red/white) on
the TV set (usually labelled 'Audio in' or 'AV in'. See TV operating
instructions).

Read the next chapter 'Connecting additional devices' on how
to connect additional devices (satellite receivers,
videorecorders,...) to the input-/output sockets.
Connection with video (CVBS) cable
This cable, usually with yellow Cinch connectors, is used for
transmitting the Composite Video signal (FBAS, CVBS). In this method
of transmission the colour signal and the brightness signal are
transmitted on the same cable. In certain circumstances, this can lead
to slight problems with the picture, such as 'Moiré' patterns.
1 Insert one end of a video (CVBS) cable into the yellow Cinch
socket VIDEO OUT (CVBS) at the back of the DVD recorder
and the other end into the video input socket (usually yellow) on
the TV set (usually labelled 'Video in' or 'AV in'. See TV operating
instructions).
2 Insert one end of an audio (Cinch) cable into the red/white Cinch
socket AUDIO OUT L/R at the back of the DVD recorder and
the other end into the audio input socket (usually red/white) on
16
the TV set (usually labelled 'Audio in' or 'AV in'. See TV operating
instructions).
O Read the next chapter 'Connecting additional devices' on how
to connect additional devices (satellite receivers,
videorecorders,...) to the input-/output sockets.
Connecting with the aerial cable
To connect this DVD-Recorder to a TV set without external
Audio/Video input sockets, you need a modulator. With the modulator
the audio/video signal is converted in an UHF-channel. This signal can
be received and stored on the TV as a TV-station.
Connecting to the mains
Always check if the local mains voltage matches the voltage range
printet on the type plate at the back or bottom of the DVD-recorder.
If not consult your dealer or the customer support from your country.
1 Switch on the TV set.
2 Insert one end of the supplied mains cable into the mains socket
4MAINS at the back of the DVD recorder and the other end
into the wall socket.
