Connecting a video recorder
To obtain optimum picture quality, use a SCART cable. However, you can also connect a video recorder to the
television using the aerial socket.
If you connect a video recorder only via the aerial socket (without using the SCART socket), switch it on and play
a tape.
Then search for the video recorder’s relevant channel (refer to the relevant section).
If you connect a video recorder via the aerial socket, you should assign channel 99 to it in order to improve the
picture quality when tapes are being played and in pause mode. However, we recommend you connect your video
recorder via the SCART socket, as it provides better picture and sound quality.
