76SYSTEM CONNECTIONS

Connecting To A Satellite Receiver

Simple Connections

This is an example of simple connection if your TV has one 21-pin AV input (SCART) connector.

Connect the satellite receiver to the L-2 IN/DECODER connector, then connect the L-1 IN/OUT connector to the TV’s connector.

NOTES:

Be sure to use a 21-pin SCART cable (not an S-Video cable) for the satellite receiver connection.

Set “L-2 SELECT” to “A/V” ( pg. 69).

You can use Automatic Satellite Programme Recording function ( pg. 51) with this connection.

To record a programme via the satellite receiver, select L-2 mode by pressing AUX (number key 0”) and/or VCR PR so that “L-2” appears on the front display panel.

For details, refer to the instruction manual of the satellite receiver.

IMPORTANT

When you set “L-2 SELECT” to “SAT” ( pg. 69), it is possible to view a satellite broadcast with the TV set to its AV mode even if the recorder is turned off. When the recorder is in Stop mode or recording, press TV/VCR on the remote control to turn off the VCR indicator on the front display panel.

If you turn on the recorder when the satellite receiver’s power is off, nothing appears on the TV screen. In this case, turn on the satellite receiver, or set the TV to its TV mode, or press TV/VCR on the remote control to set the recorder to the video mode.
