Connecting An External Decoder; Connecting A Decoder - Sony 4-131-978-11(1) Operating Instructions Manual

Connecting an External Decoder

You can watch or record external decoder (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.
To watch the connected external decoder (PAY-TV/Canal Plus analogue decoder)
programmes while the recorder is in standby mode, set "Standby Mode" to "Mode 2" in the
"System 1" setup (page 87). If not, the picture will not appear.
Note that when you set "LINE 3 Out [LINE 1 In]" to "Video [Decoder]" or "RGB [Decoder]"
in step 5 of "Setting external decoder (PAY-TV/Canal Plus analogue decoder) programme
positions" (page 28), you will not be able to select "L1" because Line 1 will become a
dedicated line for the decoder.
