In the „Device connection“ menu, you can assign one
of the defined AV devices to each of the EURO sockets.
The abbreviations in the box on the right have the
following meanings:
Video rec. = video recorder (up to 3 may be connected).
Video rec. 1 is the video recorder which is always
connected; Video rec. 2 and 3 are used for copying
from one recorder to another.
VTR+Dec. = video recorder and Pay-TV decoder (e.g.
Premiere), where the decoder is connected only to the
video recorder.
Camcorder = video camera
Decoder = Pay-TV decoder (e-g- Premiere)
SAT = external satellite receiver
Game = games console
The default settings can be modified to meet your own
requirements. You should, however, note the following
input and output signal allocations when doing this.

When the devices are selected, the signal type is
always set to „video“. Pressing the red key displays a
box for selection of the signal type.
Differences between the signal types:
• continuous AV operation: the screen displays the
picture provided by the AV device. The channel setting
of the TV set has no effect.
• . . . controls AV operation: if the AV device is set to
„play“, the screen displays the picture provided by the
AV device; if the AV device is set to „stop“, the screen
displays the picture of the selected TV programme
position.
