Synchronized Recording

You can set the VCR to automatically record programmes from equipment such as a programmable Set Top Box by connecting the equipment to the LINE-4 IN connector. The connected equipment must have a timer function for this feature to work.

When the connected equipment turns on, the VCR also automatically turns on and starts recording a programme from LINE-4 IN.

How to connect for Synchronized Recording.

Connect the LINE-4 IN of the VCR to the TV Scart connector of the Set-Top Box. Then connect the LINE-1 (TV) connector to the TV.
