• If your aerial is a flat cable (300-ohm twin lead cable), use an external aerial connector (not supplied) to
connect the aerial to the recorder.

to connect the aerial to the recorder.
• If you disconnect the recorder’s mains lead, you will not be able to view the signals from the connected
set top box receiver.
Use this hookup if you can receive Freeview.
With this hookup, you can record any programme position by selecting the programme
