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/DECODER) AV connector to a SCART AV
connector on your cable box/satellite receiver.
This enables you to record scrambled TV channels.
4 Plug the supplied G-LINK™ cable to the G-LINK™
jack.
This enables you to control the tuner in the external
receiver using the GUIDE Plus+
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).
G-LINK cable
See the manual that came with your cable/satellite
receiver if you're not sure where the IR receiver is on the
front panel. Alternatively, experiment with the remote
control, operating it from very close range until you find
the place where the receiver responds.
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 152).
