Notes

• If the TV is connected to the LINE-1 (TV) connector, setting the RF channel to OFF is

recommended (see page 17). In the OFF position, only the signal from the aerial is output
through the AERIAL OUT connector.

• For a correct SmartLink connection, you will need a Scart cable which the 21 pins are

completely connected (for example a Sony cable reference VMC-2121HG). Please refer to
your TV’s instruction manual as well for this connection.

Connect LINE-1 (TV) on the VCR
and the Scart (EURO-AV) connector
on the TV with the optional EURO-
AV cable.

This connection improves picture and
sound quality.Whenever you want to
watch the VCR picture, press

TV/

VIDEO to display the VIDEO
indicator in the display window.

Connect the mains lead to the mains.

You can now tune your TV to the VCR (see page 15).
