Connecting your DVD recorder to the TV set

The necessary cable connections must be made before you can record or playback TV programmes using your DVD recorder.

Connect the DVD recorder directly to your TV set. If there is a video recorder in between the picture quality may be poor.

We recommend that you use a scart cable to connect your TV set and DVD recorder.

What is a scart cable?
The scart or Euro AV cable serves as the universal connector for picture,
sound and control signals. With this type of connection, there is practically no	?
loss of quality in picture or sound transmission.	?

When you install your DVD recorder for the first time, select one of the following options:

'Connecting with a scart cable and Easy Link'

If your TV set is equipped with 'Easy Link, Cinema Link, NexTView Link, Q-Link, Smart Link, Megalogic, Datalogic, ...' and you wish to use a scart cable.

'Connecting with a scart cable without Easy Link'

If your TV set is not equipped with 'Easy Link, Cinema Link, NexTView Link, Q-Link, Smart Link, Megalogic, Datalogic, ...' and you wish to use a scart cable.

'Connecting with an S

If your TV set is equipped with an S-Video(SVHS) socket.

'Connecting with video(CVBS) cable'

If your TV set is equipped only with an video(CVBS) socket.
