VCR to the AUDIO input jacks on your TV.
Other Connections
Euro Scart (AV) Sockets (Connecting to a decoder)
Your VCR is provided with two Scart sockets which you may
connect to other external devices with Scart sockets. We
recommend this connection to ensure a better audio and
picture quality.
Euro Scart cables are obtainable at your dealer.
AV1 (TV) Connection to TV
If your TV has Scart sockets, you may connect your VCR’s
AV1 (TV) scart socket to the Scart socket on the back of your
TV. Please see the instruction manual for your TV.
Note: You may connect the VCR to your audio amplifier.
1) Prepare an audio cable (not supplied).
2) Switch off your audio amplifier.
3) Insert one end of the audio cable into the corresponding
red and white AUDIO OUTPUT L/R jacks at the back of
the video recorder and the other end into the
corresponding audio input jacks at the audio amplifier.
AV2 (DECODER) Connection for Other External Devices
The second Scart socket AV2 (DECODER) is designated for
other external devices, e.g. decoder, another VCR, video
camera and so on.
Note: If you want to connect a TV with Scart socket to your
VCR, the TV must be connected to the VCR through
AV1 (TV). A connection to AV2 (DECODER) will not
function correctly.

of this VCR. The audio signal will be recorded in both
L and R channel equally.

camera, another VCR, etc.), connect the source to the AV2
(DECODER) socket, and press CHANNEL (K/L) or enter
