Here's a little guide, step by step, to add a SCART output on a Sony HB-F700F : you can forget the too fragile DIN-8 connection !! As new DIN-8 plugs are very difficult to find, it's an additionnal reason to change the video connection.

Step 1 : disassembling

Let's start ! You need first to unscrew the 4 casing's screws and the electronic printed circuit, because we will operate from below ! If you can hold a screwdriver, this step should be very easy ....

Step 2 : wires soldering

* We enter now in the serious things ; it becomes delicate as solders you need to make are very small. If your style is soldering with a bow or a flame-thrower, you should better to go away; I'm really sorry for you. *

This picture shows the bridge-building of the wires at the level of the DIN-8 RGB output under the plate.

Here are the 8 wires you will need to solder on the female SCART plug.

* A little advice ! * Don't forget to mark correctly the wires ! Use for example numbered self-adhesive tape for each one. By this way, your task will be more easy and you will not make mistakes when soldering to the female SCART.

Step 3 : polishing

The cables for the female SCART must go through the back side of the Sony HB-700F. You need therefore to drill a little hole at the backside of the casing and then you can pass the wires as on the picture and it does the trick !

To finish, you need to fix this new video connection to the casing. I've personnally choosen the SuperGlue option and contrary to what you should think, it works very well. A little trick : don't forget to use an insulating tape between the casing of your Sony HB-700F and the back side of the SCART output. Well, you have now the keys in hands to make without any problem this little modification. See you soon for new adventures !!
