of the defined AV devices to each of the EURO sockets.

Video rec. 1 is the video recorder which is always
connected; Video rec. 2 is used for copying from one
recorder to another.
Logic VTR = video recorder with data transfer to/from
the TV set(e.g. DataLogic, QLink, EasyLink, Megalogic)
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.
To change the settings, select the appropriate EURO
socket with the coloured keys and then select the
device to be connected with the and keys.

if the AV device is set to
„play“, the screen displays the picture provided by the
