There is a wide range of audio and video equipment that can be connected to your TV.
The following connection diagrams show you how to connect them.
Note: EXT 1 can handle CVBS and RGB, EXT 2 CVBS, RGB and Y/C, EXT 3 CVBS and Y/C, EXT 4 and EXT 5
can handle Y Pb Pr, 1080i, 576p and 480p; EXT 6 RGB + HV. EXT 7 is a DVI connector which allows
encrypted transmission of uncompressed digital content and works only with DVI TMDS digital video.
It is preferred to connect peripherals with RGB output to EXT 1 or EXT 2 as RGB provides a better picture
quality.
If your recorder is provided with the EasyLink function, it should be connected to EXT 2 to benefit from the
EasyLink functionality.
Recorder (VCR / DVD+RW) Connect the aerial cables 1,2and, to obtain the optimum
picture quality, eurocable 3as shown.
If your recorder does not have a euroconnector, the only
possible connection is via the aerial cable.You will therefore
need to tune in your recorder’s test signal and assign it
programme number 0 or store the test signal under a
programme number between 90 and 99, see Manual installation,
p. 6.
See the handbook of your recorder.
Decoder and Recorder
Connect a eurocable 4to your decoder and to the special
euroconnector of your recorder. See also the recorder
handbook. See Decoder, p. 10
You can also connect your decoder directly to EXT 1 or 2with
a eurocable.
Other equipment (satellite receiver, decoder, DVD, games, etc.)
&Connect the aerial cables 1,2and 3as shown (only if
your peripheral has TV aerial in-/output).
Connect your equipment with a eurocable 4or 5to one of
the euroconnectors EXT 1,2or 3to obtain a better picture
quality.
éLook for the test signal of your peripheral in the same way as
you do for a recorder.
“Make a selection in the Setup, Source menu, p. 10.
When a recorder is connected to EXT 1 you can only record a
programme from your TV. Only when a recorder is connected to
EXT 2 it is possible to record a programme from your TV as well as
from other connected equipment.
