USING EXTERNAL DEVICES
_______________
DVD player, DVD recorder, video recorder or
set-top box
Note:
Which television socket(s) you connect your external devices to
depends on the sockets the external device is equipped with
and the signals which are available.
Note that with many external devices the resolution of the video
signal must be adapted to the input sockets on the television
(check the external device’s instruction manual). You can find
out which values you need to set by referring to the guidelines
in the section about connection options.
Note:
Do not connect any other equipment while the device is
switched on. Switch off the other equipment as well before
connecting it.
Only plug the device into the mains socket after you have
connected the external devices.
