Connecting your video recorder to the TV set
The necessary cable connec- tions must be made before
you can record or playback TV programmes using your
video recorder.We recommend that you use a scart cable to connect your TV and video 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 during the picture or sound transfer.
