AConnecting to a SCART input jack

Connect using a SCART cord (not supplied) to the LINE 1-TV jack and your TV. Be sure to make the connections firmly to avoid hum and noise.

See the operating instructions supplied with the TV to be connected. Also, when you set “Line1 Output” to “S Video” or “RGB” in step 15 of Easy Setup (page 24), use a SCART cord that conforms to the selected signal.

If your TV accepts progressive 525p/625p format signals, you must use this connection and set “Component Out” in Video Setup to “On.” Then press PROGRESSIVE on the remote to send progressive video signals. For details, see “Using the PROGRESSIVE button” (page 16).
