Connecting the video recorder

Preparing the remote control for operation

The remote control and its batteries are packed separately in the original video recorder packaging. You must install the batteries in the remote control before use - described in the following section.

1Take the remote control and the enclosed batteries (2 batteries).

2Open the remote control's battery compartment and place the batteries in it as shown in the picture and close the battery compartment.

The remote control is now ready to use. Its range is approximately 5 meters.

Connecting your video recorder to the TV set

The necessary cable connections must be made before you can record or playback TV programmes using your video recorder.

We recommend that you use a scart cable to connect your TV set and video recorder.

What is a scart cable?

The scart or Euro AV cable serves as the universal connector for picture, sound and control signals. With this type of connection, there is practically no loss of quality during the picture or sound transfer.

When you install your video recorder for the first time, select one of the following options:

'Connecting with a scart cable'

If your TV set has a scart socket and you are using a scart cable.

'Connecting without a scart cable'

If you do not wish to use a scart cable.
