After calling this menu, you must first select the input device, i.e. the device which is to supply the picture. Once you have done this, the cursor moves to the out- put side of the menu and the keys are displayed in colour. If there is more than one AV device shown on the output side, you must select the desired device manually. If you make a mistake, you can switch between the input and output sides of the menu with

the - + keys.

Back to the example:

You want to copy the film from the camcorder to video recorder 1.

Press the white key to display the signal from the camcorder on the screen. Then press the yellow key to select the output device.

If any subsequent switching operations could interfere with copying, a warning box with the text „AV recor- ding“ will be displayed and the requested switching operation will not be executed.

To check the progress of the operation, press the AV key to display the picture from the input device on the screen.

If you wish to execute the copy operation in standby mode, you can switch the TV set to this mode by pres-
