The AV receiver does not support SCART plugs.

The AV receiver’s optical digital jacks have shutter-type covers that open when an optical plug is inserted and close when it’s removed. Push plugs in all the way.

Caution

To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing.
