Other Connections

Euro Scart (AV) Sockets

Your VCR is provided with two Scart sockets which you may 
connect to other external devices with Scart sockets. We 
recommend this connection to ensure a better audio and 
picture quality.

Euro Scart cables are obtainable at your dealer.

AV1 (TV) Connection to TV

If your TV has Scart sockets, you may connect your VCR’s 
AV1 (TV) scart socket to the Scart socket on the back of your 
TV. Please see the instruction manual for your TV.

AV2 (DECODER) Connection for Other External Devices

The second Scart socket AV2 (DECODER) is designated for 
other external devices, e.g. decoder, another VCR, video 
camera and so on.

Note:

If you want to connect a TV with Scart socket to your 
VCR, the TV must be connected to the VCR through 
AV1 (TV). A connection to AV2 (DECODER) will not 
function correctly.
