You need a SCART socket on your TV to connect this

SCART connections offer the best picture and sound quality.
They can also tell your TV when the Digital Box is switched
on and off and whether widescreen pictures are being
broadcast.
Before you begin, make sure you have easy access to the
connectors on your TV and any other connected equipment.

it with the remote control.

under-side of the remote control.
