SATELLITE CONNECTION: There are two basic methods of connecting a satellite system to your TV. Method 1 explains
connection of satellite equipment directly to the TV, where as Method 2 refers to connection via a VCR.

METHOD 1

CAMCORDER CONNECTION:  Connecting a camcorder to your TV is simple. Firstly, identify the type of camcorder and it’s

connecting plugs. If it is a standard 8mm type camera then it is likely to have ‘RCA’
type sockets. If, however, you have S-VHS or Hi8 type camera then this may have a
S-VHS/Hi8 plug and will have to be placed in the corresponding S-VHS/Hi8 socket
on the TV.  Open the front control panel door on the TV, and connect your equip-
ment as shown in the illustration below. Switch your TV on, and repeatedly press the
TV/AV button (Nº9) on your handset until AV3 is displayed on-screen. Now begin

External Equipment Connection

External Equipment Connection

Your TV has various input sockets for external equipment such as Video Cassette Recorders, Satellite Receiver/Decoder,
Camcorders, Computer Equipment etc.. Equipment that is connected temporarily i.e. Camcorders can be connected via the
front control panel input sockets. However, equipment such as VCR’s and Satellite IRD’s, that are more or less permanently
connected to your TV, are connected via the AV1 or AV2 scart sockets on the rear of the TV.

PLEASE NOTE:  Prolonged use of computer equipment or games on this TV may cause permanent damage to
your picture tube. To avoid such damage, reduce the brightness and contrast to an acceptable minimum level and
limit the duration of equipment operation.

then connect the S-VHS/Hi8 socket only.
