Initial settings

When making the setting, it should be ensured that there is at least one blank channel above and below the output channel in order to avoid interference.

Modulator TV / VCR

Here you can assign the UHF modulator to either the TV- or the VCR Scart socket.

Factory presetting: assignment to the TV Scart socket.

An assignment to the VCR Scart socket is recommended if, for example, your video recorder is unsuitable for “VPS“ via the Scart input. In this case, connect the video recorder via the UHF modulator and assign the modulator to the VCR Scart socket.
