Select one of the following hookups. Do NOT set
“Line3 Input” of the “Scart Setting” to “Decoder”
in the “Video” setup (page 118).
If the set top box receiver can output RGB

This recorder accepts RGB signals. If the set top

TV SCART connector on the set top box receiver
to the LINE 3/DECODER jack, and set “Line3
Input” of “Scart Setting” to “Video/RGB” in the
“Video” setup (page 118). Note that this

receiver.
If you want to use the Synchro Rec function
A SCART connection between the set top box
receiver and the recorder is necessary to use the
Synchro-Recording function. See “Recording
from connected equipment with a timer (Synchro
Rec)” on page 73.
Set “Line3 Input” of “Scart Setting” in the
“Video” setup (page 118) according to the
specifications of your set top box receiver. See
your set top box receiver’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 set top box
receiver.
