Connecting to a cable box, satellite receiver or digital terrestrial receiver

If you have a cable, satellite or digital terrestrial receiver with a built-in decoder, connect it to this recorder and your TV

as shown on this page.1 If you are using a separate decoder box for your cable/satellite TV, set up following the instructions on the next page.

Using the setup on this page you can:

•Record any channel by selecting it on the cable box, satellite receiver or digital terrestrial receiver.

•Change channels and set timer recordings on the external receiver using the GUIDE Plus+ system (via the G-LINK cable, and after setting up).

Important

•Do not connect this recorder to your TV ‘through’ your VCR, satellite receiver or other component. Always connect each component directly to your TV or AV amplifier/receiver.

See the manual that came with your cable/satellite/ digital terrestrial receiver if you’re not sure where the IR receiver is on the front panel. Alternatively, experiment with the remote control, operating it from very close range until you find the place where the receiver responds.

Tip

•This recorder has a ‘through’ function which allows you to record a TV program from the built-in TV tuner in this recorder while watching a video playing on your VCR. (To use this feature when the recorder is in standby, Power Save must be set to Off—see Power Save on page 108).

Note

1 The diagram shows SCART video connections, but you can alternatively use any of the other audio/video connections.
