The guidance given on the next two pages is the most common forms of connection. However

please check with your manufacturers instruction books for specific information. Make sure all

connections are made with both your VCR and additional appliance unplugged from the mains

to avoid damaging your equipment. Connecting a VCR using a SCART lead is one of the best

ways to achieve optimum sound and picture quality from video-tape playback.

All connections
must be made
with both your
VCR and TV
unplugged from
the mains.

Using your VCR very
first time
Following picture will 
display on the TV screen
when you have just 
connected your video
recorder for the very first
time. 

To make tuning TV 
stations, please follow
stages 3 to 4 as shown
“ACMS” (see p. 10).
