3.2.2 Colour model

Through the TV SCART connector, the digital receiver is able to output video in various colour models. If you have the digital receiver linked to your television via this connector, you should set the Video Output option to your desired colour model. If you have connected via the RCA connector labeled VIDEO on the back panel, you do not have to set this option because the digital receiver outputs CVBS video through the RCA connector independent of the SCART connector.

However, if you have connected via the S-VIDEO connector, you have to set this option to S-Video because the output through S-Video connector comes from the SCART interface.

It is known in general that the RGB colour model provides the best video quality with little difference from the YUV colour model but the CVBS colour model does the least. So RGB would be most desirable for this option.

3.2.3 Video cassette recorder

You can have the digital receiver linked to your video cassette recorder or such an appliance via the VCR SCART connector. In that case, the digital receiver will operate differently depending on the setting of the VCR Scart Type option. If the option is set to Standard, the digital receiver will pass the video from the video cassette recorder to your television when it starts playback. But if the option is set to External A/V, the digital receiver will not pass the video automatically. To pass it, you

have to press the button.

NOTE

It is impossible for the digital receiver to record the video that the video recorder plays back because the digital receiver is just a bypass for the video recorder.
