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 timeshift playback when a DVD/HDD recorder (DVR) is in connection.

The following diagram assumes that you connect a Pioneer DVR-540H to the Plasma Television so that you can enjoy timeshift playback with the recorder.

In addition to the above connections, you need to perform the following:

•See “Switching the SCART output” (page 62) and select “Fixed on DTV” for “SCART Output” in the Setup menu.

•On the DVD/HDD recorder (DVR), 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 (DVR) has been connected; for the above connection example, select INPUT 2.

When you complete the above connections and setups, you can then enjoy timeshift playback with the DVD/HDD recorder (DVR). You can also select the 2-screen or picture-in-picture mode to watch images coming from the DTV input source and an external input source (INPUT 2 for the above connection example) to which the output of the recorder has been connected.

•Some DVD/HDD recorders (DVRs) may not allow timeshift playback. Check the operation manual that came with your recorder.
