This unit has three input terminals, AV1 or AV2 on the rear panel and AV3 on the front panel. Be sure that all the units are off before making connections.

Switch the input selector on your TV to an appropriate external input channel. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual of your TV.

Connecting to external equipment

Recording from a DVD player, VCR or 
other Audio-Video equipment with a 
Scart output jack (AV2)

Note

• If the external equipment connected to 

the AV2 jack supplies control voltage to 
this unit via Pin 8 of the Scart cable, 
the display functions of the remote 
control cannot be seen on the TV. In 
this case, turn off the external 
equipment to prevent control voltage, 
or make sure to use a Scart cable 
without Pin 8 for this connection.

Recording from a camcorder or other 
Audio-Video equipment with no Scart 
output jack (AV3)

If no S-Video input jack is available, 

connect to VIDEO input jack on the front 

panel using an RCA Video cable.

Change the setup when using S-VIDEO 

input jack. See page 33 on the Owner’s 

Manual for details.

Digital audio for better sound quality (only for DVD)

For clear digital sound quality, use the 
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL or 
COAXIAL) jacks to connect your 
digital audio equipment.

If the audio format of the digital output 

does not match the capabilities of your 

receiver, the receiver will produce a 

strong, distorted sound or no sound at 

all.

It may be necessary to change the setup 

depending on the connecting device. 

See page 17 on the Owner’s Manual for 

details.
