The outputs of 3, 4, 5, 8 and 9 are dedicated to modules of digital signal processing (DVD).

The video and audio outputs of 6 and 7 are dedicated to modules of digital (DVD) or analogue (VHS) signal processing.

Both groups of outputs are used for analogue and digital sources. But there are limitations, e.g.: During recording or scheduled recording on DVD, the VHS playback is only possible on outputs of 6 and 7.

For a conventional tube television, we recommend using the Scart terminal.

You retain a high-quality RGB video picture with an RGB-compatible television.

- If you want to use a progressive-capable LCD/plasma television or LCD projector, connect it to COMPONENT VIDEO OUT to get a high quality progressive video picture.

21-pin Scart terminal

The 21-pin Scart terminal transmits both input and output signals for picture and sound.

TVs equipped with the same type of terminal can be connected here.

This type of terminal is also called Peritel, Euro Connector and Euro AV.
