Please keep in mind that the appliance closest to the
DVD recorder system will provide the input signal if several
appliances in the chain are switched on,Therefore:When
selecting a video appliance connected to EXT2 AUX I/O,
make sure that all other appliances connected to
EXT2 AUX I/O are switched off or to standby.
Consult the user's manuals of the video appliances you
wish to connect on which SCART sockets are available and

Note: Use RGB capable SCARTcables only Some other SCART
cables are only partially wired, resulting in a moderate picture
quality and less functionality of the SCARTconnectioa
Connect another video appliance to the free SCART
socket on the video appliance which is already connected
to the DVD recorder system.
If a digital video appliance (e, g, satellite receiver or game
console) supports digital surround sound, connect either
