Settings and Hookups

If the satellite tuner can output RGB signals

This recorder accepts RGB signals. If the satellite tuner can output RGB signals, connect the TV SCART connector on the satellite tuner to the LINE 3/DECODER jack, and set “Line3 Input” of “Scart Setting” to “Video/RGB” in “Video” setup (page 96). Note that this connection and setup disable the SMARTLINK function. If you want to use the SMARTLINK function with a compatible set top box, see the instructions supplied with the set top box.

If you want to use the Synchro Rec function

This connection is necessary to use the Synchro- Recording function. See “Recording from connected equipment with a timer (Synchro Rec)” on page 57.

Set “Line3 Input” of “Scart Setting” in “Video” setup (page 96) according to the specifications of

your satellite tuner. See your satellite tuner’s instructions for more information.

If you are using a B Sky B tuner, be sure to connect the tuner’s VCR SCART jack to the LINE 3/DECODER jack. Then set “Line3 Input” of “Scart Setting” according to the specifications of the VCR SCART jack on your satellite tuner.

Notes

Do not set “Line3 Input” of “Scart Setting” in “Video” setup to “Decoder.”

Synchro-Recording does not work with some tuners. For details, see the tuner’s operating instructions.

If you disconnect the recorder’s mains lead, you will not be able to view the signals from the connected tuner.

DTS audio signals of CDs/DVDs are output only to this speaker system, not to the LINE jacks.
