Note
• If the external equipment connected to the Scart terminal (AV2) 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.
• The AV2 (DECODER) connection is useful for playing back the picture only.

unit only records a Composite video signal.
This unit has four input terminals, AV1, AV2 or AV3 on the rear panel and AV4 on the front panel. Be sure that all the
units are off before making connections.

Connecting to a TV (cont’d)
Note
• The unit is sending each video signals simultaneously. If you connected an S-VIDEO OUT and/or a COMPONENT
VIDEO OUTPUT with the VIDEO OUT (SCART), make sure your TV’s input mode is set correctly according to the
connection you made.
• You will not be able to hear all of the sound being output by the unit if you use the Audio cables (commercially
available) to a monaural TV that has only one Audio input jack.
• Be sure that the colours of the jacks and plugs match up when connecting the cable.
• If you want to listen to the audio through audio equipment, connect only the S-video or Component video cable to the TV.
• If your TV is compatible with 525 or 625 progressive scanning and you want to enjoy that high quality picture,
you must connect the Component video cable to your TV’s component Video input jacks (Y/P
R
/P
B
) and select
progressive scanning mode. To set the mode, set “Video Out” to “Component Progressive (P)” in the “Video” of the
“Playback” menu so that “P.SCAN” will appear on the display of this unit. See pages 80-81 for more details.
• If your TV is not compatible with progressive scanning, use this unit in interlace mode. Make sure that no “P.SCAN”
is on the display of this unit. If so, set “Video Out” to “Component Interlace (I)” in the “Video” of the “Playback”
menu so that “P.SCAN” on the display of this unit will disappear.
• (Analogue) AUDIO OUT jacks and Scart terminal are not available on the DTS audio.
Note
• If you prefer better picture quality for the recordings from the external equipment, S-video connections such as
AV3 (rear) or AV4 (front) is recommended.
