Connecting to a Satellite or Digital Tuner

Connect a satellite or digital tuner to this recorder using the LINE 3 jack. Disconnect the
recorder’s mains lead from the mains when connecting the tuner.
To use the Synchro-Rec function, see below.

If the satellite tuner can output RGB
signals

This recorder accepts RGB signals. If the
satellite tuner can output RGB signals,
connect the TV SCART connector on the
satellite tuner to the LINE 3 jack, and set
“Line3 Input” of “Scart Setting” to “Video/
RGB” in the “Video” setup (page 96). Note
that this connection and setup disable the
SMARTLINK function. If you want to use
the SMARTLINK function with a compatible
set top box, see the instructions supplied with
the set top box.

If you want to use the Synchro Rec
function

This connection is necessary to use the
Synchro-Recording function. See
“Recording from connected equipment with a
timer (Synchro Rec)” on page 57.
Set “Line3 Input” of “Scart Setting” in the
“Video” setup (page 96) according to the
specifications of your satellite tuner. See your
satellite tuner’s instructions for more
information.
If you are using a Sky, be sure to connect the
tuner’s VCR SCART jack to the LINE 3 jack.
Then set “Line3 Input” of “Scart Setting”
