Easy connections

The setup described below is a basic setup that allows you to watch and record TV programs, and play discs. Other
types of connections are explained starting on the following page.
Important
• These connections use SCART cables (not supplied). If your TV (or VCR) does not have a SCART connection, see
the following page for connecting up using the supplied audio/video cable.
• The AV1(RGB)-TV AV connector can output ordinary (composite), S-video or RGB video, plus stereo analog audio.
The AV2/(INPUT 1/DECODER) connector accepts ordinary and S-video video input, as well as stereo analog
audio. See AV1 Out on page 100 and AV2/L1 In on page 100 for how to set them up.
• Before making or changing any rear panel connections, make sure that all components are switched off and
unplugged from the wall outlet.

Save on page 96).
