Connection instructions
Follow these steps to connect your devices:

- Scart Output: Connect one end of a Scart cable to the output port of the converter and the other end to the input port of your display device (e.g., older TV). Ensure the Scart cable length does not exceed 8 meters.
- Power: Connect the supplied USB power lead to the DC/5V jack on the converter and the USB end to a compatible 1A power supply. Switch on the power.
