Connection
Only connect devices with same connections to the SCART-AV sockets and
cinch-AV plugs. Should your device not have the required inputs or outputs,
use a suitable adapter.
Only use suitable SCART and cinch cables for cabling.
Keep in mind that some of the sold SCART cables are not fully wired. These
cables can impair the efficiency of the device. If in doubt, consult an expert.
Carefully read the input and output connection and/or compatibility section in
the relevant operating instructions of the devices that are to be connected to
the adapter.
If these instructions are not observed, the SCART switch box or connected
appliances could be damaged.
Switch off the devices to be connected before connecting them to the con-
necting jacks. Do not put them into operation again until you have made all
necessary connections and checked them over once again.
Follow the same procedure, when changing the connection to any of the
devices.
• When connecting, observe the colour marking of the cinch AV plugs:
Yellow
=
Video signal
Red
=
Audio signal right
White
=
Audio signal left
• Connect the AV outputs on the source devices to the INPUT A to INPUT C plugs. Connect your
recorder to the INPUT A socket.
• Connect the TV/MONITOR plug to the input on your TV, and the cinch AV plugs TV OUTPUT
and OUTPUT to the inputs on your stereo system or an additional recording device.
Use
• Switch your TV set or recording device to the AV programming place (see operating
instructions of the device concerned). If the device has an automatic AV change-over, this will
happen automatically when you start or turn on a source device.
• Playback
Press the appropriate VIEW button (A, B or C) on your source device. If the source device (e.g.
game consoles), reproduces RGB signals, press the RGB button.
• Recording
Press the appropriate RECORD button, which corresponds to the desired recording mode (B-A
or C-A). To control the recording procedure on the TV, press the VIEW button A. You can also
watch another programme by pressing another VIEW button while recording.
When recording with two devices or when simultaneously recording and playing back, slight
losses in image brightness might occur depending on the system. Normally, these losses are
not or hardly visible. However, if you encounter significant deterioration of image quality,
please use a suitable AV signal amplifier.
Handling
Never use the device immediately after bringing it from a cold to a warm room. The condensation
that forms might destroy your unit.
Wait until the product is at room temperature before use. Wait until the condensation has
evaporated.
Maintenance and Care
The product does not have to be serviced and, except for occasional cleaning with a soft, dry
cloth, requires no maintenance whatsoever.
Never use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions as these may damage the surface
of the housing.
