AV Link Function

If the VCR is connected to the TV via a 21-pin Scart cable, you can use the [AV LINK] (35) to switch the TV from normal TV reception over to the video playback channel (AV input) (and vice versa). In the VCR mode (when the [VCR] indication in the VCR display is lit), the TV is switched to the video playback channel (AV input). In the TV mode (when the [VCR] indication is not lit), the TV is switched to TV reception.

•When you press the [MENU] (7) to display the menu on the TV screen, the TV is also automatically switched to the VCR mode, however, the [VCR] indication does not appear in this case.

•When you start playback on the VCR, the TV is automatically switched to the VCR mode. However, during playback, it is not possible to switch the TV back to the TV mode.

•If a Pay TV station has been selected on the VCR when you switch to the TV mode, the picture on the TV is scrambled when you select a Pay TV station on the TV.

In this case, either switch to the VCR mode or select the AV input on the TV.

Hint:

•[RGB] means separate Red/Green/Blue colour signals.

If you connect a TV equipped with RGB input capability to the AV1 socket on this VCR, and a decoder equipped with RGB output capability to the AV2 socket, the TV can receive RGB signal input from the decoder via the VCR.
