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 2 may be connected). Video rec. 1 is the video recorder which is always connected; Video rec. 2 is used for copying from one recorder to another.

Logic VTR = video recorder with data transfer to/from the TV set(e.g. DataLogic, QLink, EasyLink, Megalogic)

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

The default settings can be modified to meet your own requirements. You should, however, note the following input and output signal allocations when doing this.

	S-VHS / Hi8			VHS		RGB
	(= Y/C =S-Video)		(= Video)
	Input	Output	Input		Output	Input
EURO 1	Yes	Yes	Yes		Yes	Yes
EURO 2	Yes	No	Yes		Yes	Yes
Front	Yes	-	Yes		-	No
