Connecting other equipment
How to connect a video recorder only
Connect the video recorder scart socket to the AV1 scart socket on your television set. If your video recorder
has two scart sockets, use the one marked TV. The television aerial should go to the video recorder, then to the
television.
How to connect a satellite receiver only
Connect the satellite receiver scart socket to the AV1 scart socket on your television. If your satellite receiver
has more than one scart socket, use the one marked TV. Your television aerial should go to the satellite receiv-
er, then to your television.
How to connect a satellite receiver with one scart socket and a video recorder with one scart socket
If your video recorder has only one scart socket, connect it to the AV1 scart socket on your television. Your tele-
vision aerial should go to the satellite receiver, then to the video recorder, then to your television. So that you
can record satellite broadcasts you will have to tune one programme number on your video recorder to the
satellite receiver (please see your video and satellite instruction books for details of how to do this). So that you
can watch satellite television while recording normal television, you should also tune one programme on your
television to the satellite receiver (please see 'Manual tuning').
How to connect a satellite receiver with one scart socket and a video recorder with two scart sockets
If your video recorder has two scart sockets, connect one (which may be marked TV) to the AV1 scart socket
on your television and connect the other to your satellite receiver. Your television aerial should go to the satel-
lite receiver, then to the video recorder, then to your television. You may need to read your video recorder
instructions to find out which is the best scart socket to connect to your television and how to record from the
scart socket you have connected to your satellite receiver. So that you can watch satellite television while
recording normal television, you should also tune one programme on your television to the satellite receiver
(please see 'Manual tuning').
How to connect a satellite receiver with three scart sockets and a video recorder with one or two scart
sockets
If your video recorder has two scart sockets, use only one of them. Connect your video recorder to the scart
socket marked VCR on the satellite receiver. You may need to read your video recorder instructions to find out
which is the best scart socket to use and how to record from the scart socket you have connected to your satel-
lite receiver. Connect the scart socket on the satellite receiver marked TV to the AV1 scart socket on your tele-
vision. Your television aerial should go to the satellite receiver, then to the video recorder, then to your televi-
sion.
These connections depend on the satellite receiver being put on stand-by to send the audio and video signals
from the video recorder to your television. If you want to watch satellite while recording normal television, select
a channel on the satellite receiver and press the b
b button on your television remote control.
If you decide to watch normal television while recording satellite, you may find you automatically get satellite
pictures and sound from your television. In this case, select the programme number you want to watch using
your television remote control.
