The setup described below is a basic setup that allows you to watch and record TV programs, and play discs. Other
types of connections are explained starting on the following page.
Important
• These connections use SCART cables (not supplied). If your TV (or VCR) does not have a SCART connection, see
the following page for connecting up using the supplied audio/video cable.
• The AV1•RGB-TV AV connector can output ordinary (composite) video, S-video or RGB, plus stereo analog audio.
The AV2 (INPUT 1/DECODER) connector accepts ordinary video or S-video input, as well as stereo analog audio.
See AV1 Out on page 54 and AV2/L1 In on page 54 for how to set them up.
• Before making or changing any rear panel connections, make sure that all components are switched off and
unplugged from the wall outlet.
1 Connect the cable from the antenna/cable TV
wall outlet to the antenna input on your VCR.
• If you are not connecting a VCR in the chain, connect
it to the ANTENNA IN jack on this recorder and skip
the next step.
2 Use an RF antenna cable (one is supplied) to
connect the antenna output of your VCR to the
ANTENNA IN of this recorder.
3 Use another RF antenna cable to connect the
ANTENNA OUT of this recorder to the antenna input
on your TV.
4 Use a SCART cable (not supplied) to connect the
AV1•RGB-TV AV connector on this recorder to the
SCART AV connector on your TV.
5 Use another SCART cable to connect the AV2
(INPUT 1/DECODER) AV connector to a SCART AV
connector on your VCR.
Note
• See the following page if you want to use one of the
other kinds of audio/video connection.
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 —see Power
Save on page 53).
