Philips DVDR80 manual Connecting additional devices only via aerial cable, To TV-I/O socket

1Connect the scart socket of the receiver (satellite receiver) provided for the TV set (usually labelled 'TV', 'TO TV'), with the EXT 2 AUX-I/Osocket of the DVD recorder.

Why can't I use the 'VCR', 'TO VCR',... socket?
In order to achieve the best possible picture quality, you must use the RGB
(red-green-blue) signal of the receiver. As a rule, this signal is available at the
'TV', 'TO TV',... socket. The DVD recorder transfers the signal to the	EXT 1
TO TV-I/O socket.
Some receivers only provide a 'Video (CVBS/FBAS)' signal at the 'VCR', 'TO
VCR'...socket. Read the instruction manual of the receiver on the signals
available at the sockets.
If you are satisfied with the picture quality of the 'VCR', 'TO VCR',... socket,		?
you can also use this socket.

2If your external receiver offers several options for the signal available at the 'TV', 'TO TV',... socket, choose the 'RGB' setting.

Connecting additional devices only via aerial cable

If you want to connect additional devices (e.g. satellite receiver...) only via aerial cable, please observe the following:

The DVD-Recorder must be connected directly to the TV set. If there is a video recorder or an additional device in between, the picture quality may be poor because of the copy protection system built into the DVD-Recorder.

The additional device (satellite receiver) must be connected before the DVD recorder (additional device - DVD recorder - TV set). Only the TV set must be connected to the TV OUT socket.

•) If there is interference in the picture when the additional device is switched on, a TV broadcaster may be transmitting on the same channel or a channel very close to that of the additional device. (e.g.: TV broadcaster on channel 45, additional device (satellite receiver) also on channel 45). In this case, change the channel of the additional device (satellite receiver). Consult the instruction manual of the additional device.

You must also store this channel on the DVD recorder to be able to record TV programmes from the additional device (satellite receiver).

•) Switch on the additional device during the installation of the DVD recorder. During the automatic channel search, the channel on which the additional device is transmitting will be stored as a TV channel.
