Moving to the last or next pa ge To go to the page above the one you are on, press the The scart sockets The scart sockets at the back of the television are 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. `EXT 1' will be displayed for a few seconds and you will see the picture from any equipment that is connected to the number 1 scart socket (if that equipment is switched on). If there is no signal at the scart socket, the screen will remain dark. Press the 0 button again and `EXT 2' will be displayed to tell you that you have selected the number 2 scart socket. The table below describes the facilities supported by the scart sockets on your television. AV features Connector type AV in AV out AV switch (pin 8) Where the AV output comes from RGB RGB blanking (pin 16) 0 EXT 1 EXT 2 Scart Scart Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Tuner Screen Yes No Yes No Video Most equipment produces a `composite video, blanking and synchronisation' signal (CVBS), usually just called `video'. 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. Only the EXT 1 scart socket is wired for RGB input. Automatic AV mode or video switching Some equipment provides an automatic switching signal, so that the video recorder (and so on) `tells' the television to reproduce its video and audio signals. For example, if you play a video tape, you will not have to press the `0' button on your remote control, as the television will automatically switch to the video channel. Automatic switching priority EXT 1 has priority over EXT 2. [. . . ] Here are a few tips to help you do this. Position Put your television away from radiators and other sources of heat, in a place where light does not shine directly on the screen. Do not put objects which have magnets in them next to the television unless the instructions with those objects say they can be used next to a television. Ventilation Put the television on a hard, flat surface where curtains and furniture cannot stop air flowing through the ventilation slots. [. . . ]
