Due to the wide variety of Hi-Fi equipment, the information on this page should be used only as guidance. Refer to your
Hi-Fi’s Instruction Book for more details.
If your VCR is connected to a TV using a SCART lead, a video tape when played will automatically be displayed on
the TV irrespective of the channel you are watching (unlike "normal" RF aerial connection where you must use a
nominated channel).
The AV button on your VCR provides a convenient method of switching between an appliance connected to the
SCART socket (e.g. a Satellite Receiver) or TV stations received by your 'normal' aerial connected to the AERIAL
SOCKET of your VCR.
If you do not have anything plugged into the SCART SOCKET of your VCR and you press AV the screen will go
blank. Press AV again and your TV will display the last station viewed on your VCR.
