Connecting the aerial cables

These connections enable you to watch and record TV programmes using the recorder. If the aerial signal is connected via a VCR, Cable Box or Satellite Receiver, ensure that these devices are turned on in order to watch or record the cable programmes.

If you want to connect to a VCR and/or Cable Box/Satellite Receiver,

see the chapter “Step 2 : Optional Connections” for the complete connections to your TV.

A Connect the existing Aerial/Cable TV signal (or from the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver {RF OUT or TO TV}) to the ANTENNA-IN socket on the recorder.

B Use the supplied RF coaxial cable to connect TV-OUT socket on the recorder to the aerial input socket on your TV (VHF/UHF RF IN).

Helpful Hint:

–Depending on how you have currently connected your TV channel (directly from an off-air aerial or Cable box or VCR), you will have to disconnect some of the cables before you make the above connection.

TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected from the power outlet.
