Using the SCART output function
This function allows you to record DTV programmes with a connected
VCR or other recording equipment while enjoying watching the
plasma television as usual. With this function, you can also easily
enjoy time-shift playback when a DVD/HDD recorder (DVR) is
connected.
The diagram below shows the plasma television connected to a
Pioneer DVR-540H as an example.
In addition to the above connections, you need to perform the
following:
See "Switching the SCART output" and select "Fixed on DTV" for
"SCART Output" in the Setup menu.
On the DVD/HDD recorder, select the video/audio input source
matching the external input terminal to which the plasma television
has been connected. For this method, see the operation manual that
came with the recorder.
Select the input source on the plasma television depending on the
terminal to which the output of the DVD/HDD recorder has been
connected; for the above connection example, select INPUT 2.
When you complete the above connections and setups, you can then
enjoy time-shift playback with the DVD/HDD recorder.
Note
• Some DVD/HDD recorders may not allow time-shift playback.
Check the operation manual that came with your recorder.
• For details about connection and setting procedures, see the
operation manual that came with your recorder.

Switching the SCART output

Video and audio signals output from INPUT 2 and INPUT 3 sources are
the same as those used for the current image display. You can
however change the setting so that DTV signals are always output
regardless of the current image display.

2 Select “Setup“ (/ then ENTER).
3 Select “SCART Output“ (/ then ENTER).
4 Select a desired parameter (/ then ENTER).

The following operations are given higher priority over the above
setting:
• Presetting a DTV programme for recording
