Connecting to external equipment
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.
Even if an external equipment such as a DVD player can be delivered an RGB signals and your TV accepts them, this
unit only records a Composite video signal.
This unit has four input terminals, AV1, AV2 or AV3 on the rear panel and AV4 or AV5 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

• 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.
