Connecting to a cable box or satellite receiver
If you have a cable or satellite receiver with a built-in decoder, connect it to this recorder and your TV as shown on this
page. If you are using a separate decoder box for your cable/satellite TV, set up following the instructions on the next
page.
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 amplifier/receiver.

Connect RF antenna cables as shown.
This enables you to watch and record TV channels.
2
Use a SCART cable (not supplied) to connect the
AV1•RGB-TV AV connector to a SCART AV connector
on your TV.
This enables you to watch discs.
3
Use another SCART cable to connect the AV2
(INPUT 1/DECODER) AV connector to a SCART AV
connector on your satellite/cable box.
This enables you to record scrambled TV channels.
Note
• The diagram shows SCART video connections, but
you can alternatively use any of the other audio/video
connections.
Tip
• This recorder has a ‘through’ function which allows
you to record a TV program from the built-in TV tuner
in this recorder while watching a video playing on
your VCR. (To use this feature when the recorder is in
standby,
Power Save
must be set to
Off
