Enjoying through External Equipment

Using the SCART output function
This function allows you to record DTV progremmes with a
connected VCR or other recording equipment while enjoying
watching the Plasma Display as usual. With this function, you
can also easily enjoy timeshift playback when a DVD recorder
(DVR) is in connection.
The following diagram assumes that you connect a Pioneer
DVR-920H/DVR-930H to the Plasma Display so that you can
enjoy timeshift playback with the recorder.
In addition to the above connections, you need to perform the
following:
• See “Switching the SCART output” and select “Fixed on DTV”
for “SCART Output” in the Setup menu.
• On the DVD recorder (DVR), select the video/audio input
source matching the external input terminal to which the
Plasma Display has been connected. For this method, see
the operation manual that came with the recorder.
• Select the input source on the Plasma Display depending on
the terminal to which the output of the DVD recorder (DVR)
has been connected; for the above connection example,
select INPUT 2.
When you complete the above connections and setups, you
can then enjoy timeshift playback with the DVD recorder
(DVR). You can also select the 2-screen or picture-in-picture
mode to watch images coming from the DTV input source and
an external input source (INPUT 2 for the above connection
example) to which the output of the recorder has been
connected.
NOTE
• Some DVD recorders (DVRs) may not allow timeshift
playback. Check the operation manual that came with your
recorder.
• For details about connection and setting procedures, see the
operation manual that came with your DVD recorder (DVR).
Switching the SCART output
Video and audio signals output from INPUT 2 and INPUT 3
sources are the same as those used for the current image
display. You can however change the setting so that DTV
signals are always output regardless of the current image
display.
