connect the mains lead until you reach
“Step 4: Connecting the Mains Lead” on
page 20.
b Notes
• See “Specifications” (page 136) for a list of
supplied accessories.
• Plug in cords securely to prevent unwanted noise.
• Refer to the instructions supplied with the
components to be connected.
• You cannot connect this recorder to a TV that
does not have a SCART or video input jack.
• Be sure to disconnect the mains lead of each
component before connecting.
Step 1: Connecting the
Aerial Cable and Set Top

Select one of the following aerial hookups.
Do NOT set “LINE 1 In” to “Decoder” in the
“Video In/Out” setup (page 114) when
making connection A.
If the set top box receiver can output RGB
signals
This recorder accepts RGB signals. If the set
top box receiver can output RGB signals,
connect the TV SCART connector on the set
top box receiver to the LINE 1/DECODER
jack, and set “LINE 1 In” to “RGB” in the
“Video In/Out” setup (page 114). See the
instructions supplied with the set top box
receiver.
The set top box receiver control function can
be used with hookup A. It allows the recorder
to control a set top box receiver via the
supplied set top box controller. The recorder
controls programme positions on the set top
box receiver for timer recording. You can
also use the recorder’s remote control to
change programme positions on the set top
box receiver whenever the set top box
receiver and recorder are turned on.
To use the set top box receiver control
function, you need to connect the set top box
controller (page 14). After setting up the set
top box receiver control, check that the
recorder can correctly control the set top box
receiver (page 24).
b Notes
• If your aerial is a flat cable (300-ohm twin lead
cable), use an external aerial connector (not
supplied) to connect the aerial to the recorder.
• If you have separate cables for AERIAL
antennas, use an AERIAL UHF/VHF band mixer
(not supplied) to connect the aerial to the
recorder.
• If you disconnect the recorder’s mains lead, you
will not be able to view the signals from the
connected set top box receiver.
