Connecting other video components
The VIDEO IN/OUT AV connector can be used for a VCR
or other video player or recorder with analog audio. The
DVR/TV IN/OUT AV connector and associated digital
audio connection (the DVR/TV OPT2 jack) can be used
with digital video components, such as a DVD recorder,
that can play digital soundtracks.

Use a SCART cable to connect the VIDEO IN/OUT
AV connector to an AV connector on your VCR (or
other video component).
This allows playback from and recording to the VCR (or
other component).

Note
• Some TVs have both RGB and i/o-Link.A compatible
AV connectors, or a single AV connector is
switchable. See the instructions that came with your
TV for more details. This receiver is compatible with
both formats without the need to switch.
• When the DVR is switched on, make sure that it is set
to the correct input so that audio/video from the
receiver gets passed through to the TV.
