Headphone socket

Use the relevant socket to connect stereo headphones or earphones.

Connecting a video recorder

To obtain optimum picture quality, use a SCART cable. However, you can also connect a video recorder to the television using the aerial socket.

The diagram on the inside cover at the end of the manual illustrates how this is done.

If you connect a video recorder only via the aerial socket (without any AV socket connection), switch it on and play a cassette.

Then use the Auto-update option of the Install menu to search for the video recorder signal (refer to the Manual channel set-up section on page 9).

A video recorder connected by aerial socket should be stored on a Programme ending with a 9 (9, 19, 29.....) which has special processing to improve the picture quality during videotape

playback and pause modes. However, we recommend to connect your video recorder by SCART socket for even better picture and stereo sound quality.

Copying tapes:

Connect the record unit to the AV2 Euro-AV (scart) connector.

Connect the playback unit to the AV1 Euro-AV (scart) connector if it is a video recorder or to the AV3 RCA sockets if it is a camcorder.
