In the „Device connection“ menu, you can assign one of the defined AV devices to each of the EURO sockets.

The abbreviations in the box on the right have the following meanings:

Video rec. = video recorder (up to 3 may be connected). Video rec. 1 is the video recorder which is always connected; Video rec. 2 and 3 are used for copying from one recorder to another.

VTR+Dec. = video recorder and Pay-TV decoder (e.g. Premiere), where the decoder is connected only to the video recorder.

Camcorder = video camera

Decoder = Pay-TV decoder (e-g- Premiere) SAT = external satellite receiver

Game = games console

To change the settings, select the appropriate EURO socket with the coloured keys and then select the device to be connected with the P+ and P- keys.

When the devices are selected, the signal type is always set to „video“. Pressing the red key displays a box for selection of the signal type.

Differences between the signal types:

continuous AV operation: the screen displays the picture provided by the AV device. The channel setting of the TV set has no effect.

. . . controls AV operation: if the AV device is set to „play“, the screen displays the picture provided by the AV device; if the AV device is set to „stop“, the screen displays the picture of the selected TV programme position.
