Connecting with an S

This connecting cable, also known as the SVHS cable, is used to transmit the brightness signal (Y signal) and colour signal (C signal) separately. This mini DIN socket/plug is also called a Hosiden socket/plug.

Have the following cables ready:

an aerial cable (1, supplied), a mains cable (2, supplied), an S-Video(SVHS) cable (3), an audio cable (4, red/white plug).

1Remove the aerial cable plug from your TV set. Insert it into the ANTENNA IN socket at the back of the DVD recorder.

2Insert one end of the supplied aerial cable into the TV OUT socket at the back of the DVD recorder and the other end into the aerial input socket at the back of the TV set.

3Insert one end of an S-Video(SVHS) cable into the OUT S-VIDEO (Y/C) socket at the back of the DVD recorder and the other end into the S-Video (SVHS) input socket on the TV set (usually labelled 'S-Video in' or 'SVHS in'. See TV operating instructions).
