Via the SCART connector

Playback of NTSC recordings

Your TV set has two SCART connector sockets. This is
for the connection of equipment which is fitted with a
SCART socket e.g. video machine or satellite receiver.

AV-2 S Mode

If the equipment connected to your TV set supports S­Video (Y/C) output from SCART, you can have a better
picture quality by selecting AV-2 S mode and connect-
ing your equipment to the EXT.2 terminal of TV. See your
equipment's booklet to check if your equipment has
such feature.

RGB mode

If an equipment can output the RGB signals, connect it
to the AV-1 (EXT.1) terminal.

• Select the RGB mode to watch images from that
equipment.

• When not in the RGB mode, turn the RGB signals
output equipment off.

Via Aerial Input

If the equipment you want to connect to your TV e.g.
video machine or satellite receiver does not have a
SCART socket, you should connect it to the aerial (ANT)
socket on your TV.

Decoder

Cable TV offers you a wide choice of programs. Most of
them are free, others are to be paid for by the viewer.
This means that you will need to subscribe to the broad­casting organization whose programmes you wish to
receive. This organization will supply you with a corre­sponding decoder unit to allow the programmes to be
unscrambled.

For further information ask your dealer. See also the
booklet supplied with your decoder.

Connecting a decoder with an aerial socket to the TV

• Connect the aerial cable.

Connecting a decoder without an aerial socket to the TV

SCART connector you can obtain better picture qual­ity if you connect a SCART lead to EXTERNAL.

• Then select the appropriate AV mode by pressing the
“AV” button.

TV and Video Recorder

• If your video machine has a SCART socket please
connect it to the TV using a SCART lead. Your TV
should also be connected to your video machine us­ing the aerial RF output socket.

Please note using a SCART lead will produce better
qualitiy pictures.

This TV can display video recordings played back in the
NTSC 3.58 / 4.43 mode.

Connect a VCR which is capable of playing a NTSC
recording to the SCART socket located on the back of
your TV or the phono or RCA sockets located on the
front of the TV.

Pressing “ “ or “ ” button selects the Broadcast
Standard required. Then select the standard you want
pressing “ “ or “ ” button. When changing the stan­dard this way, if the previous channel is not defined for
the new selected standard, then also the channel will be
changed to the first defined channel of that standard (For
example: When changing BG to K1 and the previous
channel is C12, after changing the standard, the chan­nel will be C4, because the first defined channel of stan­dard K1 is C4). After that, if it is returned to the previous
standard back, the channel will not be changed to the
previous one anymore (That means, in the example
above, when it is returned from K1 to BG again, the
channel will not change to C12 anymore and keep C4).
Defined channels for different standards are given as
following:

B/G : C01-C83, S01-S41
D/K : C01-C12, C21-C69, S01-S19, S22-S41
