features only).

Use SCART Composite Output for good picture quality (for
DVD and VCR features).

use the RF OUT for connection and set your TV to channel
22 ~ 69 with the same channel for DVD/VCR is set (for DVD

the DVD/VCR DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (either COAXIAL or

receiver, stereo or TV (for DVD features only).
