• Default setting: Video
You only need to make this setting if you connected this
recorder to your TV using the AV1(RGB)-TV SCART AV
connector.
Important
• If you make a setting here that is incompatible with
your TV, the TV may not display any picture at all. If
this happens either switch everything off and
reconnect to the TV using either the supplied video
cable, or an S-video cable (see Using the S-video
output on page 15 for more on this), or reset the
recorder (see Resetting the recorder on page 90 for
how to do this).
