Satellite Receiver

If your Cable Box/Satellite Receiver
has only an antenna output socket
(RF OUT or TO TV),
read chapter “Step 1: Basic Recorder
Connections - Connecting the antenna
cables” for details.
Option 2 (as shown on the above illustration)
If your Cable Box/Satellite Receiver
has a Scart output socket
A Keep the existing antenna connection
from the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver to
your TV.
B Connect the scart cable from the EXT1
TO TV socket on the recorder to the
corresponding SCART input socket on
the TV.
C Connect another scart cable from the
EXT2 TO VCR/SAT socket on the
recorder to the Scart output socket
(usually labelled as TV OUT or TO TV)

Helpful Hint:
– If your TV is connected to the recorder via
the COMPONENT VIDEO (Y Pb Pr) sockets,
connect the external cable box/satellite
receiver to the EXT1 TO TV socket.
