If the set top box receiver can output RGB signals

This recorder accepts RGB signals. If the set top box receiver can output RGB signals, connect the TV SCART connector on the set top box receiver to the LINE 1/DECODER jack, and set “LINE 1 In” to “RGB” in the “Video In/Out” setup (page 137). See the instructions supplied with the set top box receiver.

Using the set top box receiver control function

The set top box receiver control function can be used with hookup B. It allows the recorder to control a set top box receiver via the supplied set top box controller. The recorder controls programme positions on the set top box receiver for timer recording. You can also use the recorder’s remote control to change programme positions on the set top box receiver whenever the set top box receiver and recorder are turned on.

To use the set top box receiver control function, you need to connect the set top box controller (page 17). After setting up the set top box receiver control, check that the recorder can correctly control the set top box receiver (page 28).
