Connecting to a Satellite or Digital Tuner

Connect a satellite or digital tuner to this recorder using the LINE 3/DECODER jack. Disconnect the recorder’s mains lead from the mains when connecting the tuner.

When you turn on the tuner, the recorder automatically sends the signal from the tuner to the TV without turning itself on.

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.

When you want to use the Synchro Rec function

This connection is necessary to use the Synchronized Recording function. See “Recording From Connected Equipment With a Timer (Synchro Rec)” (pages 55 and 85).

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.

Notes

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

The recorder cannot record original RGB signals from the tuner, but records them in the composite video format.

When you connect the recorder to your TV via the SCART jacks, the TV’s input source is set to the recorder automatically when you turn the recorder on.
