If the satellite tuner can output RGB signals, connect the TV SCART connector on the satellite tuner to the LINE 3 jack, and set “Line3 Input” of “Scart Setting” to “Video/ RGB” in the “Video” setup (page 93). 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 55.

Set “Line3 Input” of “Scart Setting” in the “Video” setup (page 93) 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 jack. Then set “Line3 Input” of “Scart Setting” according to the specifications of the VCR SCART jack on your satellite tuner.
