ATTENTION:

Your TV must have a 21-pin AV input connector (SCART) for the connection to the recorder.

It’s essential that your video recorder be properly connected.

THESE STEPS MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE ANY VIDEO OPERATION CAN BE PERFORMED.

A Check the contents.

Make sure the package contains all of the accessories listed in “Check Contents” on page 101.

B Situate the recorder.

Place the recorder on a stable, horizontal surface.

C Connect the recorder to TV.

ADisconnect the TV aerial cable from the TV.

BConnect the TV aerial cable to the ANTENNA IN connector on the rear panel of the recorder.

CConnect the provided RF cable between the ANTENNA OUT connector on the rear panel of the recorder and the TV’s aerial connector.

DConnect the provided 21-pin SCART cable between the L-1 IN/OUT connector on the rear panel of the

recorder and the TV’s 21-pin SCART connector.

The L-1 IN/OUT connector accepts and delivers either a composite signal (regular video signal) or a Y/C signal (a signal in which the luminance and chrominance signals are separated). If your TV’s 21-pin AV input connector (SCART) is compatible with the Y/C signal, set “L-1 OUTPUT” to

“S-VIDEO” after the connection and the initial settings are completed ( pg. 68). You can obtain high-quality S-VHS pictures. (For connection, be sure to use a 21-pin SCART cable that is compatible with the Y/C signal.)

Set your TV to the VIDEO (or AV), Y/C, or RGB mode according to the type of your TV’s SCART connector.

For switching the TV’s mode, refer to the instruction manual of your television.

To obtain high-quality S-VHS pictures, you can also use the S-VIDEO connection described on page 13.

D Connect the recorder to mains.

Plug the end of the mains power cord into a mains outlet.

After the connection is completed, perform “Auto Set Up” on page 14.
