Additional preparation

„Equipment which can output the S-VIDEO signal (Y/C signal) such as an S-VHS VCR

Connect the equipment to an EXT terminal (but not the EXT-1 terminal).

You can choose between an S-VIDEO signal (Y/C signal) and a regular video signal (composite signal). For details of how to operate the equipment, see “y(S-VIDEO input)” on page 33.

„T-V LINK compatible VCR

Be sure to connect the T-V LINK compatible VCR to the EXT-2 terminal. If not, the T-V LINK function will not work properly.

•When connecting a T-V LINK compatible VCR to the EXT-2 terminal, be sure to connect the decoder to the VCR. If not, the T-V LINK function may not work properly. After you have stored TV channels in the programme numbers (PR) list, set the DECODER (EXT-2) function for the programme number (PR) to ON to unscramble a scrambled TV channel. For details, see “EXT SETTING” on page 33.

„Connecting headphones

Connect the headphones with a stereo mini- jack (3.5 mm diameter) to the headphone socket at the TV rear panel.

•No sound comes from the TV speakers when the headphones are connected.

„Video or sound signal output from the EXT-2 terminal

You can change over the output of the video/ sound signal from the EXT-2 terminal. This is useful when you want to dub the video/ sound from another device onto the VCR connected to the EXT-2 terminal. For details on how to do this, see “DUBBING” on page 34.

„TV output from the EXT-1 terminal

The video/sound signal of a TV channel you are viewing is always output from the EXT-1 terminal.

•Changing over a programme number (PR) also changes over the TV output from the EXT-1 terminal.

•The video/sound signal from an EXT terminal cannot be output.

•Teletext programmes cannot be output.

Connecting speakers or an amplifier

See the audio equipment diagram, and connect the audio equipment to the TV.

Before connecting anything:

•Read the manuals that came with the amplifier and speakers.

•Turn the TV and amplifier off.

•Use impedance 8-ohm type speakers for surround speakers.

•To prevent magnetism from the speakers affecting the TV screen, use magnetic- shielded speakers for the front speakers.

•Connecting cables are not supplied.

•Pay attention to the positive +and negative -polarities when connecting the surround speakers to your TV.

•For the best effect, position the surround speakers at least 1 metre above the heads of seated viewers.

•If you want to use your external Dolby Surround decoder, connect it to the AUDIO OUT terminals. Then set all surround functions of the TV to OFF.

•The output from the AUDIO OUT terminal is not cut off by connecting headphones to the TV.
