Sockets and cables
There are several ways in which you can incorporate your DVD player into an Audio-Video
system.The simplest of these is described on page 15.This uses Scart-Peritel cables that combine
Audio analogue connections for sound, and Video for the RGB image.This connection ensures the
optimum image quality (like Y, U,V). If you cannot use Scart-Peritel sockets, the explanations on
this and the followings pages should enable to you to choose the method of connection best
suited to the sockets and appliances you have. Sound and image quality depend to a large extent
on the types of connections used.
Peritel socket (scart)
1 - AV1 (audio - video Outputs)
This socket allows you to transfer Audio and Video (sound and images) from
your DVD recorder to a television set or other device (flat screen, audio-
video amplifier, etc.) that is fitted with the same type of socket.The audio
signal (sound) available from this socket is analogue stereo and the video
signal (images) from the socket can be adapted according to the type of
device that will reproduce them.You can select from among RGB, S-Video
and Video in the system Option menu on page 65.
In order to benefit from the best image quality, ensure that the RGB, 1H, 2H
selector is positioned on RGB.
Note: if you use Y, Pb/Cb Pr/Pb sockets (also known as YUV), select the 1H or 2H
position depending on the possibilities of the television set or monitor:
• 1H for interlaced scan
• 2H for progressive scan
2 - AV2 (audio - video Input and Output)
This socket allows the sending of Audio Video (sound and images) from your
DVD recorder to another device (satellite or cable receiver, …) fitted with
the same type of socket.
DTH 8045:
If you have connected a cable or satellite receiver to this
connector, in the system Options menu (on page 64) select the RGB setting
in order to benefit from the best image quality for your recordings.
Note: the Péritel socket is also known by the name of Péritélévision or Scart. The
latter is an abbreviation of « Syndicat des Constructeurs d'Appareils Radioélectriques
et de Télévision ».
