Connecting To A Cable Box Or Satellite Receiver; G-Link™ Cable - Pioneer RCS-LX60D Operating Instructions Manual

Connections

yellow video plug disconnected. Make sure you match up
the left and right outputs with their corresponding inputs
for correct stereo sound.
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
1
on this 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.
• Change channels and set timer recordings on the
external receiver using the GUIDE Plus+® system
(via the G-LINK™ cable, and after setting up).
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.
• When using the GUIDE Plus+ system to make a
timer recording from an external receiver, make sure
that the external receiver is switched on.
Note
1 The diagram shows SCART video connections, but you can alternatively use any of the other audio/video connections.

on your TV.
This enables you to watch discs.
3 Use another SCART cable to connect the AV2
(INPUT 1/DECODER) AV connector to a SCART AV
connector on your cable box/satellite receiver.
This enables you to record scrambled TV channels.

jack.
This enables you to control the tuner in the external
receiver using the GUIDE Plus+® system.
Position the IR transmitter end of the G-LINK™ cable so
that the IR receiver on your cable/satellite receiver will
pick up the control signals (see diagram).
