NexTView Link
NexTView Link is an “intelligent”link,which can be used to set up channels and as an easy way to set programmes for recording on a video recorder with the NexTView Link function or similar (Easy Link, Smart Link, Megalogic, etc.) from a TV/DVD already set up.The video recorder should be connected to the AV1 socket using a AVLink Scart cable.
If you bought an Easy Link video recorder before 1997, it is possible that the recording function is not supported.
Setting up channels
The NexTView Link can be used to automatically download the terrestrial and cable channels already stored in the TV/DVD to the video recorder.They will be arranged in the same order on both items of equipment. Refer to the instructions for your video recorder to find out how this is done.
Immediate recording
The NexTView Link function can be used to record what you are currently watching.
You simply press the relevant button on the video recorder remote control (usually REC) and the recorder will automatically switch to the same channel as the TV/DVD and start recording.
Refer to the instructions for your video recorder to find out the relevant button to press and for more information on the subject.

If you connect a video recorder only via the aerial socket (without any AV socket connection), switch it on and play a cassette.

Do not use the Digital Audio Output jacks to connect to an equipment other than a Dolby Digital or a suitable decoder. Such a connection can create a high level of noise that may be harmful to your ears, and could damage headphones or speakers.
Older digital equipment, some of which are not fully compliant with IEC 958, are likely to cause this problem.To avoid this drawback, use the
