Chapter 2: Installation
Important information on connecting your
systems:
1. Before connecting your system, please make
absolutely sure that you first disconnect
all the aerial/cable-TV or satellite reception
cables from the television set, from the video
recorder and from the set-top box.
2. Next, connect up all the necessary video and
audio cable connections between your system
and the TV monitor or video recorder.
3. Only after you have carried out all of these
steps should you plug the mains power
supply cable into the device.
4. Finally, you should reconnect the aerial/cable-
TV or satellite reception cables back into their
original positions on the television set, video
recorder and set-top box.
These steps are intended to protect the high
quality video inputs and outputs against
damage.
Any damage resulting from these instructions
being ignored is not covered by the guarantee.
Several steps are necessary before you begin to
use the system, and you should allow yourself
some time for this setup. This part of the manual
explains the necessary installation procedures.
After you have unpacked and connected the
system, you may want to turn it on and try it out
right away. This is simple to do, but there are
other cabling options that depend on the rest of
the equipment in your studio. Therefore, ple-
ase read the description of the individual steps
carefully!
