Connecting a VCR

A. Standard connection for strong signal:
To record and playback digital programmes connect your VCR to the F
socket using a scart lead (the VCR relies on the TV to convert the digital
programmes to video and audio signals suitable for recording, which are
then output from the TV through the scart connector).
To record analogue programmes on the VCR, connect your external aerial
to the RF input socket on your VCR, then connect the VCR output lead to

the upper aerial socket marked

on the TV.

B. Alternative connection for weak signal areas:

If poor reception occurs due to weak signals, then the following
configuration is recommended (to avoid the possibility of the VCR
affecting the TV signal quality):
To record and playback digital programmes connect your VCR to the F
socket using a scart lead.
To record analogue programmes on the VCR, connect your external aerial

to the upper aerial socket marked
the RF input of the VCR to the lower aerial socket marked

on the TV, then connect a lead from

on the TV.

Note: In this configuration, the TV must be switched on or in standby for
the signal to pass through the TV to the VCR.

Connecting Headphones

Plug in your headphones to the A socket on the front of the TV set.

Connecting to External Audio Equipment

Plug in your Hi-Fi equipment to the H sockets on the rear of the TV if you
wish to amplify the audio output from the TV.
The output level of signals from the H socket is adjusted by changing the
headphone volume. Refer to the ‘Adjusting the Sound’ section of this
manual.

For Mono Equipment

Connect the phono plug to the L/G/S/I socket on the front of the TV and
select the

input signal using the instructions on the previous page.

Finally, refer to the ‘Adjusting the Sound’ section of this manual and select
‘A’ on the sound menu screen.
