„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 “S-IN (S-VIDEO input)” on page 26.

„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 “Using the DECODER (EXT- 2) function” on page 36.

„Connecting headphones

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

•When you connect the headphones, the TV speakers go off.

„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 27.

„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/amplifier

See the audio equipment connection diagram and connect the audio equipment to the TV. You can use external front speakers to listen to the TV sound instead of the TV speakers.

Before connecting anything:

•Read the manuals provided with the amplifier and speakers.

•Turn the TV and amplifier off.

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

•Note that connecting cables are not supplied.
