Connect the
for the TV set (usually labelled 'TV', 'TO TV'), with the EXT 2
AUX-I/O socket of the DVD recorder.
In order to achieve the best possible picture quality, you must use the RGB
(red-green-blue) signal of the receiver. As a rule, this signal is available at the
'TV', 'TO TV',... socket. The DVD recorder transfers the signal to the EXT 1
TO TV-I/O socket.
Some receivers only provide a 'Video (CVBS/FBAS)' signal at the 'VCR', 'TO
VCR'...socket. Read the instruction manual of the receiver on the signals
available at the sockets.
If you are satisfied with the picture quality of the 'VCR', 'TO VCR',... socket,
you can also use this socket.

If your external receiver offers several options for the signal available
at the 'TV', 'TO TV',... socket, choose the 'RGB' setting.
If you want to connect additional devices (e.g. satellite receiver...) only via aerial cable, please
observe the following:
The DVD-Recorder must be connected directly to the TV set. If there is a video recorder or an
additional device in between, the picture quality may be poor because of the copy protection
system built into the DVD-Recorder.
The additional device (satellite receiver) must be connected
device - DVD recorder - TV set). Only the TV set must be connected to the TV OUT socket.
•) If there is interference in the picture when the additional device is switched on, a TV
broadcaster may be transmitting on the same channel or a channel very close to that of the
additional device. (e.g.: TV broadcaster on channel 45, additional device (satellite receiver) also
on channel 45). In this case, change the channel of the additional device (satellite receiver).
Consult the instruction manual of the additional device.
You must also store this channel on the DVD recorder to be able to record TV programmes
from the additional device (satellite receiver).
•) Switch on the additional device during the installation of the DVD recorder. During the
automatic channel search, the channel on which the additional device is transmitting will be
stored as a TV channel.
