Connecting to a cable box or satellite receiver (2)
If many or all the channels you receive by cable or satellite are scrambled, we recommend using this setup.
Using the setup on this page you can:
• Record any channel by selecting it on the cable box/satellite tuner.
Important
• Do not connect this recorder ‘through’ your VCR, satellite receiver or cable box. Always connect each component
directly to your TV or AV amp/receiver.
1 Connect the RF antenna cables as shown.
This enables you to watch and record TV channels.
2 Connect the AUDIO and VIDEO OUTPUT jacks on
this recorder to a set of audio/video inputs on your
TV using a set of A/V cables (as supplied).
This enables you to watch discs.
3 Connect the audio/video output of your cable
box/satellite tuner to the INPUT 1 jacks on this
recorder using a set of A/V cables.
This enables you to record scrambled TV channels.
Note
• The setup on this page does not allow you to watch
one channel and record another.
• The diagram shows standard video connections, but
you can alternatively use the S-video or component
video connections if they’re available.
