The scart socket
The scart socket at the back of the television is a convenient way of connecting audio and video (AV) signals to
and from the television. As the signals are in a more basic form than the signal at the aerial socket, they are less
likely to be affected by interference and other things that can reduce picture quality.
To select the scart channel
Press the 0 button on the remote control. �AVO will be displayed for a few
seconds and you will see the picture from any equipment that is connected to0
the scart socket (if that equipment is switched on). If there is no signal at the
scart socket, the screen will remain dark.
The table below describes the facilities supported by the AV channel on your television.

Video and RGB
The sharpest and clearest possible picture is reproduced from separate red, green and blue signals (RGB). Only
certain computers and high-quality digital equipment produce this form of signal. Most equipment produces a
�composite video, blanking and synchronisationO signal (CVBS), usually just called �videoO.
Automatic AV mode or video switching
Some equipment provides an automatic switching signal, so that the video recorder (and so on) �tellsO the
television to reproduce its video and audio signals. For example, if you play a video tape, you will not have to
press the �0O button on your remote control, as the television will automatically switch to the video channel.
Equipment that can be connected to the television
You can usually connect video recorders, camcorders, satellite receivers, PAL video disc players, audio amplifiers
and video games to this television, but we cannot guarantee that all combinations of equipment will work. You
can buy many different cables to connect these things.
