Until you get the SCART cable, to save swapping between the

(they would usually have a picture of a box or circle with an

as this is an output, the arrow is pointing out of the circle.
Have you checked under any flaps the TV has! Toby...
. . . or looked in the Book of Words - since all else seems to have
failed?!


I don't understand the book of words :-(


Don't worry, Dave. You are not alone.

The problem with modern manuals is that they are written by someone
that knows the product inside out. They tell you what a button or
socket does, but not how to use it.


Ferzacerly. The book had sections for 'Connecting to a audio system & TV
equipped with YUV video input'.

Then it mentions Y,CB/PB, CR/PR outputs. WTF is that all about? I want a
book that says 'put lead A into socket B'.
