Connecting to a Satellite or Digital Tuner
Connect a satellite or digital tuner to this recorder using the LINE 3/DECODER jack. Disconnect the
recorder’s mains lead from the mains when connecting the tuner.
When you turn on the tuner, the recorder automatically sends the signal from the tuner to the TV without
turning itself on.
To use the Synchro Rec function, see below.
If the satellite tuner can output RGB signals
This recorder accepts RGB signals. If the satellite
tuner can output RGB signals, connect the TV
SCART connector on the satellite tuner to the
LINE 3/DECODER jack.
When you want to use the Synchro Rec function
This connection is necessary to use the
Synchronized Recording function. See
“Recording From Connected Equipment With a
Timer (Synchro Rec)” (pages 54 and 82).
If you are using a B Sky B tuner, be sure to
connect the tuner’s VCR SCART jack to the LINE
3/DECODER jack.
Notes
• Synchronized Recording does not work with some
tuners. For details, see the tuner’s operating
instructions.
• The recorder cannot record original RGB signals from
the tuner, but records them in the composite video
format.
• When you connect the recorder to your TV via the
SCART jacks, the TV’s input source is set to the
recorder automatically when you turn the recorder on.
