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. Do NOT set “Line3 Input” of the “Scart Setting”
to “Decoder” in the “Video” setup when making this connection.
If the satellite tuner can output RGB
signals
RGB signal images can be displayed on the
TV screen, but cannot be recorded. 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 the “Video” setup
(page 62). 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
Synchro-Recording function. See
“Recording from connected equipment with a
timer (Synchro Rec)” on page 44.
Set “Line3 Input” of “Scart Setting” in the
“Video” setup (page 62) 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.
