Connecting To A Satellite Receiver

Simple Connections

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

Connect the satellite receiver to the [L-2 INPUT/DECODER] connector, then connect the [L-1 INPUT/OUTPUT] connector to the TV’s connector.

NOTES:

Set AL-2 SELECTB to AVIDEO/RGBB or AS-VIDEO/RGBB. (A pg. 70)

To record a programme via the satellite receiver, select L-2 mode by pressing PR +/– so that AL-2Bappears on the front display panel.

Connecting/Using A Decoder

The [L-2 INPUT/DECODER] connector can be used as an input connector for an external decoder (descrambler). Simply connect a decoder and you can enjoy a variety of programming that is available through scrambled channels.

IMPORTANT

When you set AL-2 SELECTB to ASAT VIDEO/RGBB or ASAT S- VIDEO/RGBB (A pg. 70), it is possible to view a satellite broadcast with the TV set to an input mode such as EXT1 even if the unit is turned off. When the unit is in Stop mode or recording, press TV/VIDEO on the remote control to turn off the Video indicator on the front display panel.

If you turn on the unit 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/ VIDEO on the remote control to set the unit to the AV mode.
