7. Multimedia connections
7.1. Use of the multimedia connec-
tions
CAUTION!
Risk of damage!
Incorrect operation can lead to dama-
ge to the equipment used.
 Before wiring and use, also read the
operating instructions of the de-
vices you are connecting.
CAUTION!
Risk of damage!
If plugs and sockets are connected
incorrectly it can cause damage to the
contacts.
 Ensure that the plugs and corres-
ponding sockets fit together pre-
cisely in order to avoid any damage
to the contacts. Due to the arran-
gement of the contacts, the plug
will only fit into the socket in one
position.
7.1.1. SCART
The SCART connector simplifies connection of various
video devices as it combines video and audio signals in
a single multi-pole plug. Use a commercially available
SCART cable.
 Connect the SCART input and output of the equip-
ment with a SCART cable.
7.1.2. AV
AV transmission (composite) works via three RCA jacks in
which one carries the video signal (yellow) and two carry
the stereo audio signal (red/white). Use a commercially
available AV cable.
 Connect the AV inputs and outputs of the equipment
with an AV cable.
 If any of the connected devices have AV connections
to mini jack, please use an appropriate AV adapter (3x
RCA > mini jack) (optional).
7.1.3. YPbPr
YPbPr transmission (component) works via five RCA con-
nections in which three jacks carry the video signal (red/
blue/green) and the remaining two jacks carry the stereo
audio signal (red/white). Use a commercially available
YPbPr cable.
 Connect the YPbPr inputs and outputs of the equip-
ment with a YPbPr cable.
 If any of the connected devices have YPbPr connec-
tions to mini jack, please use an appropriate YPbPr
adapter (5x RCA > mini jack) (optional).

7.1.4. HDMI
HDMI (high definition multimedia interface) is an interface
for digital video and audio transmission. It has the highest
quality of transmission and can also play Ultra HD resolu-
tion (from version 2.0). Use a commercially available HDMI
cable.
 Connect the corresponding HDMI ports of the devices
used with an HDMI cable.
7.1.5. HDMI ARC
If you want to use a television as a signal receiver AND
signal source (to transmit an audio signal to an audio
receiver), you should use an HDMI port with audio return
channel (ARC). The HDMI connection to the TV set then
works in both directions. Video and audio signals can be
received from a video device and the audio signal of the
TV can also be sent to the audio receiver via the audio re-
turn channel.
 Connect the video device (e.g. Blu-ray player) to the
audio receiver via HDMI.
 Connect the audio receiver to the TV set via HDMI/
ARC.
 Make sure that the speaker control of the TV set is rou-
ted to the external amplifier.
7.1.6. HDMI CEC
If you connect different devices via CEC-enabled HDMI
connections, you can control certain functions of the enti-
re HDMI network with a single remote control (e.g. stand-
by or record functions):
 Connect all devices via CEC-enabled HDMI ports with
HDMI cables.
 Make sure that the CEC functions are enabled for all
ports and that all devices are connected accordingly.
7.1.7. USB
A USB port can be used to connect and read storage me-
dia such as USB sticks or external hard drives. Use a suitab-
le USB cable. If a suitable USB cable is included in delivery,
you should use this (e.g. for hard drives).
 Connect the corresponding USB ports of the devices
used with a USB cable. Whenever possible, do not use
a USB extension cord as this can cause problems (de-
pending on the voltage).
7.1.8. SPDIF
SPDIF (Sony®/Phillips digital interface) is an interface for
transferring digital stereo or multi-channel audio signals
between various devices. Usually, the digital audio signal
is output via a coaxial (RCA) or an optical connection. Use
a suitable, commercially available cable.
 Connect the SPDIF ports of the devices used with a
corresponding SPDIF cable.
