Connecting the antenna cables

These connections enable you to watch and record TV programmes using the recorder. If the antenna signal is connected via 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 Cable

Box/Satellite Receiver, see the chapter “Step 2 : Optional Connections

Connecting to a Cable Box or Satellite Receiver” for the complete connections to your TV.

A Connect the existing Antenna/Satellite Receiver/Cable TV signal (labelled as RF OUT or TO TV) to the ANTENNA socket on the recorder.

B Connect the supplied RF coaxial cable from the TV socket on the recorder to the antenna input socket (or labelled as VHF/UHF RF IN) on your TV.

Helpful Hint:

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

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