Connecting additional video appliances You can connect several video appliances with a SCART socket to EXT2 AUX I/O by connecting them in a “chain”: In the illustration below, a satellite receiver is connected to a VCR and the VCR to the DVD recorder system. Please keep in mind that the appliance closest to the DVD recorder system will provide the input signal if several appliances in the chain are switched on. Therefore: When selecting a video appliance connected to EXT2 AUX I/O, make sure that all other appliances connected to EXT2 AUX I/O are switched off or to standby. Consult the user´s manuals of the video appliances you wish to connect on which SCART sockets are available and how to connect them to other video appliances. 1Connect the SCART socket of a video appliance to EXT2 AUX I/O on the DVD recorder system with a SCART cable. If the appliance has several SCART sockets, use the one labelled TO TV or similar. Note: Use RGB capable SCART cables only. Some other SCART cables are only partially wired, resulting in a moderate picture quality and less functionality of the SCART connection. 2Connect another video appliance to the free SCART socket on the video appliance which is already connected to the DVD recorder system. 3If a digital video appliance (e. g. satellite receiver or game console) suppor ts digital surround sound, connect either – the digital coaxial output of the appliance to DIGITAL IN on the DVD recorder system with a digital cinch cable, – the digital optical output of the appliance to OPTICAL IN on the DVD recorder system with a digital optical cable.
