●Make one of the following connections, depending on the capabilities of your existing equipment.

The following guidelines are options for the best picture and sound quality available on your DVD/VCR.

Picture

2Use S-VIDEO Output for the better picture quality (for DVD features only).

3Use SCART Composite Output for good pic- ture quality (for DVD and VCR features).

4If your TV only has a RF-style (Antenna IN or 75 ohm) input, use the RF OUT for connec- tion and set your TV to channel 22 ~ 69 with the same channel for DVD/VCR is set (for DVD and VCR features).

Sound

1Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound. Connect the DVD/VCR DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (either COAXIAL or OPTI- CAL) to your amplifier or receiver (for DVD features only).

2Use SCART Output (DVD/VCR(AV1 TV)) for better sound quality (for DVD and VCR fea- tures).

Warning!

–Never make or change connections with the power switched on.

–Connect the DVD/VCR directly to your TV, instead of eg. a VCR, to avoid distortion because DVD video discs are copy protect- ed.

–If you use the Euro audio/video cable, it is not necessary to connect the analog audio cable.
