To connect a VCR, please refer to the section "Connecting the aerial and VCR" of this instruction manual. We recommend you connect your VCR using a Scart lead. If you do not have a Scart lead, tune in the VCR test signal to the TV programme number "0" by using the "Manual Programme Preset" option. (for details of how to manually programme these presets, see page 13, step a).

Refer to your VCR instruction manual to find out the output channel of your VCR.

Connecting a VCR that supports Smartlink:

Smartlink is a direct link between the TV set and the VCR. For more information on Smartlink, please refer to the instruction manual of your VCR.

If you use a VCR that supports Smartlink, please connect the VCR by using a Scart lead to the Scart socket 3/3
