Philips MCS 130 SURROUND Connect Peripheral Equipment, Side connections, Decoder and Recorder

Connect Peripheral Equipment

There is a wide range of audio and video equipment that can be connected to your TV. The following connection diagrams show you how to connect them.

Note: EXT. 1 can handle CVBS and RGB, EXT. 2 CVBS, RGB and Y/C, EXT. 3 and EXT. 4 only CVBS.

It is preferred to connect peripherals with RGB output to EXT. 1 or 2 as RGB provides a better picture quality. If your recorder is provided with the EasyLink function, it should be connected to EXT. 2 to benefit from the EasyLink functionality.

If your recorder does not have a euroconnector, the only possible connection is via the aerial cable.You will therefore need to tune in your recorder’s test signal and assign it programme number 0 or store the test signal under a programme number between 90 and 99, see Manual installation, p. 7.

See the handbook of your recorder.

Decoder and Recorder

Connect a eurocable 4 to your decoder and to the special euroconnector of your recorder. See also the recorder handbook. See Decoder, p. 10. You can also connect your decoder directly to EXT. 1 or 2 with a eurocable.
