Connecting your video recorder to the TV set

The necessary cable connec-

tions must be made before you can record or playback

TV programmes using your video recorder.

We recommend that you use a scart cable to con- nect your TV and video recorder.

What is a scart cable?

The scart or Euro AV cable serves as the universal connector for picture, sound and control signals. With this type of connection, there is practically no loss of quality during the picture or sound transfer. *You can have the Hi-fi sound on the TV only with a scart cable.
