1Connect RF antenna cables as shown. See Connecting a TV antenna on page 15 for more on RF antenna connections, including from this recorder to your TV.

2Use a SCART cable (not supplied) to connect the AV1 (RGB)-TV AV connector to a SCART AV connector on your TV.

This enables you to watch discs.

3Use another SCART cable to connect the AV2 (INPUT 1/DECODER) AV connector to a SCART AV connector on your cable box/satellite receiver.

This enables you to record scrambled TV channels.

4Plug the supplied G-LINK™ cable to the G-LINK™ jack.

This enables you to control the tuner in the external receiver using the GUIDE Plus+® system.

See the manual that came with your cable/ satellite 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 programme 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 127).

Connecting an external decoder box (1)

If you have an external, dedicated decoder box for your satellite or cable TV system, use the setup described on this page. See above for how to connect the G-LINK™ cable.

Important

•Do not connect your decoder box directly to this recorder.

•Information from the decoder (for example, relating to pay TV services), is only viewable when this recorder is off (in standby).

•For timer recording to work properly on this recorder, the VCR/satellite receiver/ cable box must also be switched on during recording.
