CAUTION:

• Be sure to turn off the VCR/DVD and equipment to be connected before connecting.

• Read through the operation manual for the equipment to be connected.

• Be sure to keep the VCR/DVD connection cables separate from the TV antenna cable when you install the VCR/DVD, because it may cause electrical interference when you are watching television programmes.

• DTS audio cannot be produced with an analogue connection.

Connecting to a TV or a stereo TV

CAUTION:

• Connect the VCR/DVD directly to the TV. Do not connect the VCR/DVD to a VCR, then connect the VCR to the TV. Copyright protection in the VCR could distort the picture playing on the VCR/DVD.

Connecting to a TV Equipped with S-VIDEO Input Jack (DVD only)

If your TV has no SCART input terminal but has an S-VIDEO input jack, use a commercially available S-VIDEO cable to connect from the VCR/DVD to the TV.

• You will not be able to hear all of the sound being output by the VCR/DVD if you use the AUDIO cable (commercially available) to a monaural TV that has only one AUDIO input jack.

NOTES:

• Be sure that the colours of the jacks and plugs match up when connecting the cable.

• Connect the VCR/DVD directly to the TV. If you attempt to view video on a TV connected via a VCR, the copy protection function will scramble the picture.

• If you want to listen to the audio through audio equipment, connect only the S-VIDEO cable to the TV.

• You will still need the scart cable or Round coaxial cable for VCR features. (S-VIDEO connection is available only in DVD mode.)
