Basic Connections

• Please refer to the instruction books of your TV,VCR, Stereo
System or other devices as necessary to make the best
connections.
• Make one of the following connections, depending on the
capabilities of your existing equipment.
The following guidelines are options for the best picture and
sound quality available on your DVD/VCR.
Picture
1 Use SCART RGB Output (DVD/VCR(AV1 TV)) for best
picture quality (for DVD and VCR features).
2 Use S-VIDEO Output for the better picture quality (for DVD
features only).
3 Use SCART Composite Output for good picture quality (for
DVD and VCR features).
4 If your TV only has a RF-style (Antenna IN or 75 ohm) input,
use the RF OUT for connection and set your TV to channel
22 ~ 69 with the same channel for DVD/VCR is set (for DVD
and VCR features).
Sound
1 Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound. Connect
the DVD/VCR DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (either COAXIAL or
OPTICAL) to your amplifier or receiver (for DVD features only).
2 Use SCART Output (DVD/VCR(AV1 TV)) for better sound
quality (for DVD and VCR features).
If digital connections are not possible, connect the DVD/VCR
ANALOG AUDIO OUT(Left and Right) to your amplifier,
receiver, stereo or TV (for DVD features only).
Warning!
– Never make or change connections with the power
switched on.
– Connect the DVD/VCR directly to your TV, instead of eg.
a VCR, to avoid distortion because DVD video discs are
copy protected.
– Do not connect the ANALOG AUDIO OUT of DVD/VCR
to PHONO IN of your amplifier or receiver.
– If you use the Euro audio/video cable, it is not necessary
to connect the analog audio cable.

VCR.
