The EXT2 socket has audio and video inputs/outputs and S-VHS inputs. For further information, see glossary (p. 18). Connecting peripheral equipment •If your video recorder has a euroconnector socket, carry out the above connections. Euroconnector sockets ensure better picture quality. •If your video recorder does not have a euroconnector socket (or if this is already being used by another device), then the only connection possible is via the aerial cable.Your video recorder is then considered as a TV programme by your TV set.You will therefore need to tune in your video recorder's test signal and assign it programme number 0 (see manual store chapter, p. 5). To reproduce the video recorder picture, press the key. Refer to your video recorder's operating instructions concerning the test signal (the video recorder must be equipped with an HF modulator). To select connected equipment •Use key to select E1 (EXT1), E2 (EXT2) or, for S-VHS or Hi-8 equipment, E2 Y/C. Most equipment (decoder, video recorder) carries out the switchover itself. •The white key may also be used to select the sockets with adapted Smart Controls: E1 DIGITAL (for digital equipment connected to EXT1), E1 GAMES BACK (for games connected to EXT1) and E2 GAMES FRONT (for games connected to the VIDEO socket on the front panel).

Use the key to reproduce the sound on the left and right loudspeakers of the television. N.B.: If a peripheral is connected to EXT2, it is advisable to switch it off while using a front S-VHS connection. To make a copy of recordings: Carry out one of the following connections, then: Press to select E1. On the video recorder, select the euroconnector socket as the recording source. N.B.: Copying is not possible using front connections.

Have you chosen the correct system? (p. 6) Does your aerial enable you to receive broadcasts in this frequency range? Poorly connected euroconnector cables or aerial sockets are often the cause of picture or sound problems (sometimes the connectors can become half disconnected if the TV set is moved or turned). Check all connections. Picture adjustment If you have trouble obtaining a clear picture, select one of the smart control presets (p. 8) and store using the STORE PP ALL function in the FEATURES menu.

PAL SECAM colour coding: PAL is used in the majority of European countries, SECAM in France, the CIS and the majority of African countries. The United States and Japan use a different system called NTSC. RGB Signals: These are separate Red, Green and Blue signals which directly drive the red, green and blue emmitterers in the cathode ray tube. Using these signals provides better picture quality. S-VHS Signals: These are 2 separate video signals from the S-VHS and HI-8 recording standards.The luminance signals Y (black and white) and chrominance signals C (colour) are recorded separately on the tape.This provides better picture quality than with normal videos (VHS and 8mm), where the Y/C signals are combined to give only one signal. Smart controls: Allow access to a series of picture and sound presets. MONO sound: The sound is in mono when only one channel is transmitted. STEREO sound: The sound is in stereo when the left and right channels are transmitted separately. NICAM sound: Process by which digital sound can be transmitted. System:Television pictures are not broadcast in the same way in all countries. There are different standards: BG, DK, I and L L' (France). The SYSTEM adjustment is used to select these different standards. 16/9: Refers to the ratio between the length and height of the screen.Wide screen televisions have a ratio of 16/9, that of your TV set is 4/3. Warning: If you intend to watch a 4/3 ratio picture in a 16/9 ratio format, the picture will be compressed vertically. 14/9 (only on certain models): Intermediate format which, by enlarging the picture, reduces the size of the black bands at the top and bottom of the pictures in cinemascope format.
