Connecting to a cable box or
satellite receiver
If you have a cable box or satellite receiver
with a built-in decoder, connect it to this
recorder and your TV as shown on this
1
page. If you are using a separate decoder
box for your cable/satellite TV, set up
following the instructions on the next page.
Using the setup on this page you can:
• Record any channel by selecting it on
the cable box, satellite receiver or digital
terrestrial receiver.
Important
• Do not connect this recorder to your TV
'through' your VCR, satellite receiver or
other component. Always connect each
component directly to your TV or AV
amplifier/receiver.

1 Connect RF antenna cables as shown.
See Connecting a TV antenna on page 15 for
more on RF antenna connections, including
from this recorder to your TV.
2 Use a SCART cable (not supplied) to
connect the AV1 (RGB)-TV AV connector
to a SCART AV connector on your TV.
This enables you to watch discs.
3 Use another SCART cable to connect
the AV2 (INPUT 1) AV connector to a
SCART AV connector on your cable box/
satellite receiver.
This enables you to record scrambled TV
channels.
Tip
• This recorder has a 'through' function
which allows you to record a TV
programme from the built-in TV tuner in
this recorder while watching a video
playing on your VCR (To use this feature
when the recorder is in standby, Power
Save must be set to Off — see Power
Save on page 106).
Connecting to an AV
amplifier/receiver
To enjoy multichannel surround sound you
need to connect this recorder to an AV
amplifier/receiver using the digital coaxial
output.
AC IN
In addition to a digital connection, we
recommend also connecting using the
stereo analog connection for compatibility
with all discs and sources.
You'll probably also want to connect a video
output to your AV amplifier/receiver. Use the
ordinary video output (as shown here), or the
S-video output.
