Via the SCART connector
Your TV set has two SCART connector sockets. This is for
the connection of equipment which is fitted with a SCART
socket e.g. video recorder or satellite receiver.
SVHS Mode (SCART II)
If the equipment connected to your TV set supports S-Video
(Y/C) output from SCART, you can have a better picture quali-
ty by selecting SVHS mode and connecting your equipment
to the SCART II terminal of TV. See your equipment's booklet
to check if your equipment has such feature.
RGB mode
If an equipment can output RGB signals, connect it to the
AV-1 (SCART I) terminal.
Select the RGB mode to watch images from that equip-
ment.
When not in the RGB mode, turn the RGB signals output
equipment off.
Via Aerial Input
If the equipment you want to connect to your TV e.g. video
recorder or satellite receiver does not have a SCART socket,
you should connect it to the aerial (ANT) socket on your TV.
Decoder
Cable TV offers you a wide choice of programs. Most of them
are free, others are to be paid for by the viewer. This means
that you will need to subscribe to the broadcasting organiza-
tion whose programmes you wish to receive. This organiza-
tion will supply you with a corresponding decoder unit to al-
low the programmes to be unscrambled.
For further information ask your dealer. See also the booklet
supplied with your decoder.
Connecting a decoder with an aerial socket to the
TV
Connect the aerial cable.
Connecting a decoder without an aerial socket to
the TV
Connect the decoder to your TV with a SCART lead to
SCART I or SCART II. When your decoder has a SCART
connector you can obtain better picture quality if you con-
nect a SCART lead to EXTERNAL.
Then select the appropriate AV mode by pressing the AV
button.
TV and Video Recorder
If your video recorder has a SCART socket please connect
it to the TV using a SCART lead. Your TV should also be
connected to your video recorder using the aerial RF output
socket.
Please note using a SCART lead will produce better qualitiy
pictures.
Playback of NTSC recordings
This TV can display video recordings played back in the
NTSC 3.58 / 4.43 mode.
Connect a VCR which is capable of playing a NTSC recording
to the SCART socket located on the back of your TV or the
phono or RCA sockets located on the front of the TV.
Then press the AV button to select either AV-1, AV-2, AV-3,
RGB or SVHS.
Copy Facility
Source selection for VCR recording.
Select FEATURES Menu in the MAIN Menu.
Select AV-2 Output source pressing
or
button.
Search for and store the test signal of the video
recorder
Unplug the aerial cable from the aerial socket ANT of
your video recorder.
Switch on your TV and put the video recorder on the test
signal. (See the handbook for your video recorder.)
Enter the Tuning menu via the INSTALL menu.
Search for the test signal of your video recorder in the same
way as you searched for and stored the TV signals. See
Tuning, Search and Store TV channels. Store the test signal
either under programme number 0 or between 55 and 99.
Replace the aerial cable in the aerial socket ANT of your
video recorder once you have stored the test signal.
Camera and Camcorder
To connect to Front-AV input
Connect your camcorder to the front of your TV.
Connect your equipment to the TV via VIDEO (yellow), AU-
DIO R (red) and AUDIO L (white) inputs. You should con-
nect the jacks to the input of the same colour.
Connect the decoder to the video recorder
Some video recorders have a special SCART connector for
decoder.
Connect a SCART lead to the SCART connector of your de-
coder and to the special SCART connector of your video re-
corder. See also the handbook of your video recorder.
To connect your video recorder to the TV, see TV and Video
Recorder section.
If you want to connect more equipment to your TV, consult
your dealer.
Connecting Headphones
Use the stereo headphone socket (HP) to connect head-
phones. This socket is located on the right hand side of the
television.
