    Caution
    • Incorrect use of batteries can result in hazards such 
    as leakage and bursting. 
    • Do not mix new and old batteries together.
    • Do not use different kinds of batteries together.
    • Make sure that the plus (+) and minus (-) ends of 
    each battery match the indications inside the battery 
    compartment.

    Connections
    Connecting to a TV
    Connect the unit to a TV after considering the 
    capabilities of your existing equipment.
    Before installation, plug off your TV and this 
    unit.
    1Connect the antenna or cable to the 
    ANTENNA IN jack of this unit.
    2Connect the ANTENNA OUT jack of 
    this unit to the Aerial jack of your TV. 
    Use the supplied RF cable.
    Using the Scart socket
    3Connect AV1 (TV) Scart socket of 
    this unit to the Scart socket of your 
    TV. Use a commercially available 
    Scart cable.
    Note
    • If your TV does not have a Scart socket, use a 
    commercially available Scart adaptor or Scart/RCA 
    cable to connect. Use only AV1 (TV) or AV2 
    (DECODER) socket for the VCR output signals of 
    this unit.
    • Connect this unit directly to the TV. If the AV cables 
    are connected to a VCR, pictures may be distorted 
    due to the copy protection system.
    • Teletext can only be output in VCR mode through 
    AV1 (TV) out.
    • When changing the “Video Out” setting (“SCART 
    (RGB)”, “Component (Interlace)” or “Component 
    (Progressive)”), connect to the corresponding jack 
    on the TV. If the setting is changed, for example, to 
    “Component (Interlace)” or “Component 
    (Progressive)” while the scart cable is connected to 
    the TV, a distorted video signal may result.Selecting Progressive Scan (576p/480p or 
    Interlaced 576i/480i) Playback
    • If your TV is compatible with progressive scanning 
    (576p/480p), connect the TV to the COMPONENT 
    VIDEO OUT jacks of the unit and set “Video Out” 
    setting to “Component (Progressive)” in “Setup” 
    menu. (See pages 81 to 82.) Next, set your TV to 
    the progressive scan mode.
    • If your TV is not compatible with progressive scan, 
    set “Video Out” setting to “Component (Interlace)”.
    • Use a commercially available adaptor if the Video 
    input jacks of your TVs or monitors are the BNC 
    type.
    • Only component and HDMI connections are 
    compatible with the Progressive Scan.
    Using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks 
    and the AUDIO OUT jacks (for DVD or Tuner)
    If your TV has a Component Video input jack, use a 
    Component Video cable (to connect the 
    COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks) and an Audio 
    Cable (to connect the AUDIO OUT(L/R) jacks).
    • Component connection provides the better quality 
    picture.
    1Follow the steps 1 and 2 on this page 
    in “Connecting to a TV”.
    2Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO 
    OUT jacks of this unit to Component 
    Video input jacks of your TV. Use a 
    commercially available Component 
    video cable.
    3Connect the AUDIO OUT (L/R) jacks 
    of this unit to the analogue Audio 
    input jacks of your TV. Use a 
    commercially available Audio cable.
