Easy connections

The setup described below is a basic setup
that allows you to watch and record TV
programmes, 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, and you
want to use the supplied audio/video
cable, see Using the supplied audio/video
cable on page 17.
• 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, S-video and RGB video
input, as well as stereo analog audio.
See AV1 Out on page 115 and AV2/L1 In
on page 116 for how to setup these
options.
• Before making or changing any rear
panel connections, make sure that all
components are switched off and
unplugged from the wall outlet.

which allows you to record a TV
programme from the built-in TV tuner in
this recorder while watching a video
playing on your VCR (To use this feature
when the recorder is in standby, Power

Save on page 113).
