Connecting a VCR

Use the INPUT 2 terminals when connecting a VCR and other
audiovisual equipment.
If your VCR supports TV-VCR advanced "AV link" systems, you can
connect the VCR to the INPUT 2 or INPUT 3 terminal on the plasma
television using the fully-wired 21-pin SCART cable.

exclusive key for WYSIWYR.

Caution
• If you connect a device such as a VCR between the aerial and
plasma television, signal reception quality may deteriorate. In
this case, we recommend using a distributor and making sure
to switch the "Aerial Power" setting off in order to prevent the
device from being damaged.

VCR playback

To watch a VCR image, press INPUT 2 on the remote control unit or
press INPUT on the plasma television to select "INPUT 2".

• If VCR images do not come in clearly, you may need to change
the input signal type setting using the menu. See page 51.
• Connect external equipment to only terminals that are to be
actually used.
• Refer to your VCR operation manual for the signal type.

Using the SCART output function

This function allows you to record DTV programmes with a
connected VCR or other recording equipment while enjoying
watching the plasma television as usual. With this function, you can
also easily enjoy timeshift playback when a DVD/HDD recorder
(DVR) is connected.
The following diagram assumes that you connect a Pioneer DVR-
940HX-S to the plasma television 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 (page 59) and select "Fixed on
DTV" for "SCART Output" in the Setup menu.
• On the DVD/HDD recorder (DVR), select the video/audio input
source matching the external input terminal to which the
plasma television has been connected. For this method, see the
operation manual that came with the recorder.
• Select the input source on the plasma television depending on
the terminal to which the output of the DVD/HDD recorder
(DVR) has been connected; for the above connection example,
select INPUT 2.
