Connecting to a VCR or other similar device

This connection enables you to record from video tape to HDD and allows the VCR to be used for playback on the TV if the recorder is turned off.

IMPORTANT!

Your new recorder can replace the VCR for all your recording needs. Just unplug all the connections to your VCR.

AConnect the existing Aerial/Satellite/ Cable TV signal (or from the Cable Box/ Satellite Receiver, labelled as RF OUT or TO TV) to the ANTENNA socket on the recorder.

BUse the supplied RF coaxial cable to connect the TV socket on the recorder to the aerial input socket (or labelled as VHF/UHF RF IN) on your TV.

CUse the scart cable to connect the EXT1 TO TV-I/Osocket on the recorder to the corresponding SCART input socket on the TV.

DUse another scart cable to connect the EXT2 AUX-I/Osocket on the recorder to the Scart output socket (or labelled as TV OUT or TO TV) on the VCR.

Helpful Hints:

Most commercial video cassettes and DVDs are copy-protected and therefore cannot be recorded.

Connect the recorder directly to the TV.

If there is a VCR or an additional device in between, the picture quality may be poor because of the copy protection system built into this recorder.

TIPS: Refer to your optional connected devices’ user manual for other possible connections.
