Connecting the antenna cables

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

Satellite Receiver, see page 21~23 for other possible connections.

Helpful Hint:

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

Before you start ...

This recorder is equipped with two tuners, one for digital TV reception and one for analogue TV reception. If you have a separate digital terrestrial aerial, follow option 2. Otherwise, follow option 1.

Option 1: Connecting to the analogue antenna

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 Use the supplied Tuner interlink cable to connect the two ‘A’-sockets on the recorder.

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

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