BConnect an optional 21-pin SCART cable between the
AV1 (L-1) IN/OUT connector on the rear panel of the
recorder and the TV’s 21-pin SCART connector.
DConnect the recorder to mains.
Plug the end of the mains power cord into a mains outlet.
Make AV connection if your TV has a 21-pin AV input
connector (SCART) in order to reduce the possibility of
interference. With AV connection, you can enjoy
stereo playback of video tapes if you are using a stereo
TV.
NOTES:
●The AV1 (L-1) IN/OUT connector accepts and delivers
either a composite signal (regular video signal) or a Y/C
signal (a signal in which the luminance and chrominance
signals are separated). If your TV’s 21-pin AV input
connector (SCART) is compatible with the Y/C signal, set
“L-1 OUTPUT” to “S-VIDEO” after the connection and the
initial settings are completed (墌pg. 42). You can obtain
high-quality S-VHS pictures. (For connection, be sure to
use a 21-pin SCART cable that is compatible with the Y/C
signal.)
●Set your TV to the VIDEO (or AV), Y/C, or RGB mode
according to the type of your TV’s SCART connector.
●For switching the TV’s mode, refer to the instruction
manual of your television.
●To obtain high-quality S-VHS pictures, you can also use the
S-VIDEO connection described on page 11.
