6. Recording Digital Programmes

To connect your VCR to your television and to i-Player, refer to the initial set up instructions in the "Getting started" chapter.

i-Player lets you set VCR Timers to switch i-Player on and off and to tune in to digital channels when your VCR is programmed to

record. You also need to set your VCR to record on the A/V source connected to i-Player, as this function does not instruct your VCR

to start and to stop recording.

Note that some VCR models can be automatically started and stopped by i-Player simply through the SCART cable. You may wish to

consult your VCR documentation to find out if your VCR does support this feature (called "PIN8 recording").

• You can set a VCR Timer directly from the "What's on" programme guide by highlighting a programme then selecting VCR TIMER

in the options menu. An icon is displayed on the selected programme to indicate that a timer has been set.

• To edit existing VCR Timers and set new ones, go to: MENU - MY PLAYER - VCR TIMERS.

Advanced VCR connection

If you have a VCR, by connecting i-Player "RF OUT" to your VCR "ANTENNA" input using a high quality aerial lead, you'll be able to

record analogue programmes while watching another digital programme. If you then also connect the VCR "RF OUT" to your TV

"ANTENNA" input using the supplied aerial lead, you'll also be able to record digital programmes while watching another analogue

programme.

If you don't have a VCR, by connecting the supplied aerial lead from i-Player "RF OUT" to your TV "ANTENNA" input, you'll be able

to watch analogue programmes in addition to digital channels.

Note that i-Player only provides an RF loop through and doesn't include a RF modulator. Therefore you must use the SCART lead to

watch digital programmes.
