Some points to check before you connect your TV set
•Ensure that the mains supply in your house complies with that indicated on the identification
sticker located on the back of your appliance.
•Install your appliance horizontally, away from any source of heat (fireplace) or appliances
generating strong magnetic or electric fields.The components of this appliance are sensitive to
heat.The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35° Celsius.
•Leave sufficient space around the appliance to allow adequate ventilation: 10 cm on either side
and at the back, as well as 7 cm above it are ideal.
•The humidity of the room should not exceed 75%. If you have to use the appliance outdoors,
do not expose it to rain or splashing water.The appliance should not be exposed to dripping
or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on top of it.
•Moving it from a cold environment to a warm one is likely to cause condensation on some
components inside the appliance. Let the condensation disappear of its own accord before
turning the appliance on again.
•Before moving the player, make sure the disc tray is empty.

Basic connections (DVD/VCR + TV)
1. Disconnect the aerial cable from your television set and reconnect it to the AERIAL socket
of the DVD/VCR.
2. Using the coaxial cable supplied, connect the RF OUT socket of the DVD/VCR to the aerial
socket of the television set.
3. A Scart lead connection between the appliance and your television set makes it easier to use
and improves picture and sound quality. Connect the DVD/VCR’s Scart socket (EURO AV1
AUDIO/VIDEO) to the television set’s Scart socket (AV1,EXT1,AUX1,according to the
make) using the Scart lead (not provided).
4. Connect the DVD/VCR to the mains socket using the mains lead.
Basic connections (DVD/VCR + TV + satellite or cable receiver)
1. Connect the DVD/VCR to the television set as described above.
2. Connect the satellite or cable receiver scart socket to the DVD/VCR’s second Scart socket
(EURO AV2 DECODER) using a Scart lead (not provided).
3. Connect the DVD/VCR to the mains socket using the mains lead.
Note: If one of the devices is not working, check that all the cables have been inserted properly into the
sockets which they should be connected to.
Other connection options
The basic connections (described above) are for standard-quality sound and high-quality picture
reproduction. There are other connection options available, which can produce pictures and sound
of better or poorer quality:

Back panel audio sockets
DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT L (left) and R (right) sockets -
DVD EXCLUSIVE AUDIO OUT L (left) and R (right) sockets
These are analogue audio output sockets.The AUDIO L
socket and cable are white, while the AUDIO R socket
and cable are red. Connect the DVD/VCR AUDIO L and
R sockets to the television set’s AUDIO L and R sockets
using audio cables (not supplied).
Note: If your television set only has one audio socket connect it
to the DVD player’s left socket (white).
The DVD exclusive sockets are dedicated to the DVD
player and offer a higher level of sound quality than the
DVD/VCR ones.
Coaxial digital audio output (COAXIAL)
This socket offers a higher level of sound quality
compared to that provided using an analogue audio
connection. Use this socket to connect your DVD Player
to an amplifier equipped with two-channel digital stereo
(PCM) or to an Audio/Video receiver equipped with a
multi-channel decoder (Dolby Digital, MPEG 2 or DTS)
using a digital coaxial cable (not supplied).
Back panel video sockets
DVD/VCR VIDEO OUT socket
This socket (yellow) is also known as a composite video
socket. The video cable (not supplied) usually comes with
two audio cables (red and white). The picture quality
obtained using a video connection is poorer compared to
that obtained using a Scart connection.
Note: Remember to connect the audio cables because the
video cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.
Front panel audio and video sockets
Connect your camcorder to the AUDIO L (left),AUDIO
R (right) and VIDEO sockets located at the front of the
DVD/VCR using an audio/video cable (not supplied).
