Many TV sets are switched to the programme number for the scart socket by way of a control signal sent through the scart cable.

If the TV set does not automatically switch to the scart socket programme number, manually change to the corresponding programme number on your TV set (see your TV's operating instructions).

Then, read the paragraph 'Initial installation' in the chapter 'Installing your video recorder'.

Connecting without a scart cable

Have the following cables ready:

an aerial cable (1, supplied), a mains cable (2, supplied).

1Switch off your TV set.

2Remove the aerial cable plug from the aerial input socket of the TV set. Insert it into the socket h at the back of the video recorder.

3Insert one end of the supplied aerial cable into the socket TV at the back of the video recorder and the other end into the aerial input socket at the back of the TV set.

4Insert one end of the supplied mains cable into the mains socket m at the back of the video recorder and the other end into the wall

socket.

5Switch on your TV set and select the programme number used for video playback on your TV set (see your TV's operating instructions).

Which programme number is used for video recorder operation?

To ensure the stability of the television picture during cassette playback (prevention of waves or streaks), special programme numbers have been set aside on the TV for the use of video recorders. This is usually the highest possible programme number, e.g. '12', '16', '99' or even programme number '0'. For more information, please see your TV's operating instructions.
