Connecting additional devices to the
second scart socket
You can connect additional devices such as decoders, satellite
receivers, camcorders, etc. to the EXT2 AUX-I/O socket.
When playback is started on this additional device the DVD recorder
automatically connects the EXT2 AUX-I/O scart socket with the
EXT1 TO TV-I/O scart socket. You will then see the picture from the
additional device on your TV set, even if the DVD recorder is switched
off.
The TV/HDD button on the remote control allows you to
O
switch between playback through the EXT2 AUX-I/O scart
socket and playback from the DVD recorder.
Connecting additional devices
Connecting a video recorder, DVD player.
You can also connect a video recorder or a DVD player to the EXT2
AUX-I/O input socket.
The DVD recorder must be connected directly to the TV set ( EXT1
TO TV-I/O socket directly to the TV set). If there is a video recorder
in between the picture quality may be poor because of the copy
protection system built into the DVD recorder.
O
If you already have an external receiver (satellite receiver,
set-top box, cable TV box) connected to this socket, you can
connect the video recorder to the 'VCR', 'TO VCR', ...socket
of the external receiver.
You can also use the front sockets S-VIDEO (CAM1) ,
O
VIDEO (CAM1) and the L AUDIO R (CAM1) audio
sockets.
For more information read the chapter 'Recording on the
HDD'.

Connecting additional devices
Connecting an external receiver
1 Connect the scart socket of the receiver (satellite receiver,
set-top box, cable TV box,...) provided for the TV set (usually
labelled 'TV', 'TO TV',...) with the EXT2 AUX-I/O socket of the
DVD recorder.
O
If your external receiver offers several options for the signal
available at the 'TV', 'TO TV',... socket, choose the 'RGB'
setting.
Why can't I use the 'VCR', 'TO VCR',... socket?
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 EXT1 TO TV-I/O socket.
Some receivers only provide a 'Video (CVBS/FBAS)' signal at the 'VCR',
'TO VCR'...socket.
If you are satisfied with the picture quality of the 'VCR', 'TO VCR',...
socket, you can also use this socket.
Read the instruction manual of the receiver which signals are available
at the sockets.
Connecting additional receivers
For additional receivers, you can also use the EXT1 TO
TV-I/O socket (if the TV set is connected to the COMPONENT
VIDEO OUT sockets).

Connecting additional devices only via
aerial cable
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 before the
DVD recorder (additional 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.
