Connecting a PAY-TV/Canal Plus Analogue Decoder

You can watch or record PAY-TV/Canal Plus analogue decoder programmes if you connect a
decoder (not supplied) to the recorder. Disconnect the recorder's mains lead from the mains
when connecting the decoder. Note that when you set "Line3 Input" to "Decoder" in step 5 of
"Setting PAY-TV/Canal Plus analogue programme positions" (page 25), you will not be able
to select "L3" because Line 3 will become a dedicated line for the decoder.
