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)-TVAV 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 80 and AV2/L1 In on page 80 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.
