Connecting to a cable box or satellite receiver

If you have a cable or satellite receiver with a built-in decoder, connect it to this recorder and your TV as shown on this page. If you are using a separate decoder box for your cable/satellite TV, set up following the instructions on the next page.

Using the setup on this page you can:

• Record any channel by selecting it on the cable box/satellite tuner.

Important

•Do not connect this recorder ‘through’ your VCR, satellite receiver or cable box. Always connect each component directly to your TV or AV receiver.

1 Connect RF antenna cables as shown.

This enables you to watch and record TV channels.

2Use a SCART cable (not supplied) to connect the AV1(RGB)-TV AV connector to a SCART AV connector on your TV.

This enables you to watch discs.

3Use another SCART cable to connect the AV2/ (INPUT 1/DECODER) AV connector to a SCART AV connector on your satellite/cable box.

This enables you to record scrambled TV channels.

Note

•The diagram shows SCART video connections, but you can alternatively use any of the other audio/video connections.

Tip

•This recorder has a ‘through’ function which allows you to record a TV program from the built-in TV tuner in this recorder while watching a video playing on your VCR. (To use this feature when the recorder is in standby, Power Save must be set to Off—see Power Save on page 76).
