connection on the TV may be either be a similar mini-DIN connector or may be via
SCART connector. For a SCART connection an S-Video to SCART lead must be used.
It is advised to use S-Video where possible.
phono to SCART lead.
The output type (S-Video or CVBS (Composite))is selected using the CVBS / S-Video

phono audio leads or connect the digital audio from the source directly to the
display/amplifier.
4.
Connect the power supply to the converter (DC 5V) and then to the mains supply.
5.
Power up source, display and converter. then select appropriate input on the
