Connecting to a Satellite or Digital Tuner
Connect a satellite or digital tuner to this recorder using the LINE 3/DECODER 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/DECODER jack, and set “Line3 Input” of
“Scart Setting” to “Video/RGB” in Video Setup
(page 88). 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
Synchronized Recording function. See
“Recording From Connected Equipment With a
Timer (Synchro Rec)” (page 50).
Set “Line3 Input” of “Scart Setting” in Video
Setup (page 88) according to the specifications of
your satellite tuner. See your satellite tuner’s
instructions for more information.
If you are using a B Sky B tuner, be sure to
connect the tuner’s VCR SCART jack to the LINE
3/DECODER jack. Then set “Line3 Input” of
“Scart Setting” according to the specifications of
the VCR SCART jack on your satellite tuner.
Notes
• Do not set “Line3 Input” of “Scart Setting” in Video
Setup to “Decoder.”
• Synchronized Recording does not work with some
tuners. For details, see the tuner’s operating
instructions.
• If you disconnect the recorder’s mains lead, you will
not be able to view the signals from the connected
tuner.
