Easy connections
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), S-video or RGB video, plus stereo
analog audio. The AV2(INPUT 1/DECODER)
connector accepts ordinary, S-video and RGB video
input, as well as stereo analog audio. See AV1 Out on
page 129 and AV2/L1 In on page 130 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
outlet to the antenna input on your VCR.
• If you are not connecting a VCR in the chain, connect
it to the ANTENNA IN (RF 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 (RF 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.
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 128).
