. Connect the AV2 DECODER connection to a AV socket on your set-top box / your satellite receiver. This enables you to watch its TV channels.

This recorder is equipped with a “Loop-Through“ function. The function enables you to record a TV program from the integrated analog terrestrial TV tuner of this recorder while watching a satellite or set-top box channel. Do not connect the recorder “via“ your video recorder, satellite receiver or set-top box.

Connecting to an External Decoder Box

If you use an external decoder box for your satellite or cable TV system, follow the connection procedure described below.

1.Connect your aerial socket in the wall to the aerial input socket on your set-top box / satellite receiver using an aerial cable.

. Connect the decoder to the AV DECODER socket on the set-top box /satellite receiver using a SCART cable. Further instructions can be found in the manual for your decoder box.

. Connect the AV2 socket on the DVD recorder to a AV 2 socket on your set-top box / satellite receiver using a SCART cable.

4.Connect the AV1 socket on the DVD recorder to a AV 1 socket on your televi- sion using the SCART cable.

Do not connect the Decoder-Box directly to the recorder but as shown in the figure below to the satellite/set-top box.

Stations from the decoder (e.g. via Pay-TV services) can only be viewed when the recorder is switched off (standby mode).

For timer recordings to work properly on this recorder, the satellite / set-top box must also be switched on during recording.

With this configuration you cannot watch one television broadcast and record another at the same time.
