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.
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, and set “Line3 Input” of
“Scart Setting” to “Video/RGB” in “Video” setup
(page 88). Note that this connection and setup
disable the SMARTLINK function. If you want to
use the SMARTLINK function with a compatible
set top box, see the instructions supplied with the
set top box.

If you want to use the Synchro Rec function

This connection is necessary to use the Synchro-
Recording function. See “Recording from
connected equipment with a timer (Synchro Rec)”
on page 50.

Set “Line3 Input” of “Scart Setting” in “Video”
setup (page 88) according to the specifications of
your satellite tuner. See your satellite tuner’s
instructions for more information.
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. Then set “Line3 Input” of
“Scart Setting” according to the specifications of
the VCR SCART jack on your satellite tuner.
