Q:What is a TV System?

A:Television pictures are not broadcast in the same way in all countries. There are different standards: BG, DK, I and L L'. The SYSTEM setting is used to select these different standards. This is not to be confused with PAL or SECAM colour coding. PAL is used in the majority of European countries, Secam in France, the CIS and the majority of African countries.

The United States and Japan use a different system called NTSC.

Q:What is SCART?

A:The SCART is a 20-pin rectangular connector fitted to the vast majority of PAL market TV receivers. It provides composite video inputs and outputs, stereo audio in and out, and RGB input. It is also known as Euro connector and PERI-tel.

Q:What are S-VIDEO Signals?

A:These are 2 separate Y/C video signals from the S-VIDEO and Hi-8 recording standards. The luminance signals Y (black and white) and chrominance signals C (colour) are recorded separately on the tape. This provides a better picture quality than is achieved with standard video (VHS and 8 mm) where the Y/C signals are combined to provide only one video signal.
