1Connect the S-video or component video output to a similar input on your TV.

For an S-video connection, use an S-video cable (not supplied) to connect the S-VIDEO OUTPUT jack to an S- video input on your TV.

For a component video connection, use a component video cable (not supplied) to connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to a component video input on your TV.

See also Component Video Out on page 129 for how to set up the component video output for use with a progressive scan-compatible TV.

2Connect the AUDIO OUTPUT jacks to the corresponding audio inputs on your TV.

You can use the supplied audio/video cable, leaving the yellow video plug disconnected. Make sure you match up the left and right outputs with their corresponding inputs for correct stereo sound.

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 the following 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.

When using the GUIDE Plus+ system to make a timer recording from an external receiver, make sure that the external receiver is switched on.
