improves the quality of

the picture.

If connecting to a stereo

TV you will need a

SCART cable.

There are several types

of SCART cables, fully-

wired and others.

If you use a SCART

cable, you must also

connect the RF cable.

You are now ready to start the Plug&Play Setup which begins on the next page.

Do not turn on the VCR. When the main power cord is first plugged into a
