Connecting to a Cable Box or 
Satellite Receiver

Option 1

If your Cable Box/Satellite Receiver 
has only an antenna output socket 
(RF OUT or TO TV)

,

refer to “Connecting the antenna cables” 
on page 15 for the complete connection 
to your TV.

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

 Use the scart cable to connect the  

EXT1 TO TV-I/O

 socket on the 

recorder to the corresponding SCART 
input socket on the TV.

C

 Use another scart cable to connect the 

EXT2 AUX-I/O

 socket on the recorder 

to the Scart output socket (or labelled as 
TV OUT or TO TV) on the Cable Box/ 
Satellite Receiver.

D

 Connect the supplied G-LINK cable to 

the 

G-LINK

 socket on the recorder.

E

 Place the other end of the G-LINK 

transmitter in front of the Cable Box/ 
Satellite Receiver near to the IR sensor 
(remote sensor) so that its infrared 
detector can receive a clear signal.

 This will enable the recorder to 

receive data from the GUIDE Plus+ 
system and control the tuner of the 
external receiver.

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