Connecting cable without Easy Link
If your TV is not equipped with Easy Link, you need to connect the DVD recorder to your TV using one of the following connection (the connection you choose will most likely depend on the connections supported by your TV).
SCART (best picture quality)
SCART connections offer the best picture quality, so if your TV has a SCART input, use it. By using the DVD recorders user preferences, you can select whether the EXT 1 TO TV-I/O SCART socket outputs video signals in RGB or S-Video format. RGB offers the best picture quality.
S-Video (very good picture quality)
S-Video connections offer better picture quality than composite video, so if your TV has an S-Video input, use it.
Composite video (good picture quality)
If your TV has neither SCART nor S-Video inputs, use a composite video connection.
Using a SCART cable without Easy Link
Since SCART cables carry video and audio signals, only one cable is necessary.
Connect the supplied SCART cable (3) to the DVD recorders EXT 1 TO TV-I/ O socket. Connect the other end of the SCART cable to a SCART input on your TV.
My TV has several SCART sockets. Which one should I use? Select the SCART socket that is suitable for both video output and for video input. My TV shows me a selection menu for the SCART socket Select VCR as the source for this SCART socket.

Turn on the TV. Plug one end of the supplied mains cable to the DVD recorders MAINS and the other end into an AC outlet. The most important features of the DVD recorder will appear in scrolling text on the display. After the rst installation is completed this function will be turned off. How you turn on this function again, read in the section standby in the chapter User preferences. Turn on the DVD recorder using B/I. IS TV ON? will appear on the display. If the connection was properly made and your TV was automatically turned to the programme number for the SCART socket, e.g. EXT, 0, AV, you will see the following picture:
Virgin mode Menu language English Espaol Franais Italiano Deutsch Press OK to continue

My screen is empty.

Many TVs are switched by the DVD recorder to the programme number for the SCART socket by way of a control signal sent through the SCART cable. If the TV does not automatically switch to the SCART socket programme number, manually change to the corresponding programme number on your TV set (see your TV's operating instructions). Check that the SCART cable is connected from the TV to the EXT 1 TO TV-I/O socket on the DVD recorder. The EXT 2 AUX-I/O socket is intended only for additional devices.
Then, read the paragraph on Initial installation in Installing your DVD recorder.

Using an S-Video cable

Since S-Video cables carry only video signals, separate audio connections are necessary.
S-video In Analog audio In
Using an S-Video cable (4), connect the DVD recorders S-VIDEO output to an S-Video input on your TV. Using an AUDIO L/R cable (5), connect the DVD recorders AUDIO L/R outputs to the analog audio inputs on your TV. Connect white-to-white and red-to-red).
Using a composite video cable
Composite video In Analog audio In
Using a composite video cable (6), connect the DVD recorders VIDEO (CVBS) output to a composite video input on your TV. Using an AUDIO L/R cable (5), connect the DVD recorders AUDIO L/R outputs to the analog audio inputs on your TV. Connect white-to-white and red-to-red).
Connecting AV equipment to the EXT 2 AUX-I/O SCART socket
You can connect a set-top box, satellite receiver, cable tuner, camcorder, or other AV device to the DVD recorders EXT 2 AUX-I/O SCART socket. When AV signals from the device connected to this socket are detected, the DVD recorder automatically feeds those signals through to its EXT 1 TO TV-I/O socket so that you can see the picture on your TV. This works even when the DVD recorder is turned off. When the DVD recorder is on, you can use the remote controls TV/DVD button to select the device connected to the EXT 2 AUX-I/O SCART socket (TV) or DVD playback (DVD).

Connecting additional devices If you have connected additional devices such as a satellite receiver to the aerial cable, switch them on. The automatic channel search will recognize it and save it. No aerial connected Even if you only want to use the DVD recorder to play back or have only connected a satellite receiver, you must still complete the initial installation. This is necessary so that the basic settings are stored correctly. Once initial installation is complete you can use the DVD recorder as normal.
