Connecting an external decoder box (1)
If you have an external, dedicated decoder box for your
satellite or cable TV system, use the setup described on
this page. See the previous page for how to connect the
G-LINK™ cable.
Important
• Do not connect your decoder box directly to this recorder.
• Information from the decoder (for example, relating
to pay TV services), is only viewable when this
recorder is off (in standby).
• For timer recording to work properly on this recorder,
the VCR/satellite receiver/cable box must also be
switched on during recording.
• It is not possible to watch one TV program and record
another using this setup.
1 Connect the cable from the antenna/cable TV
outlet to the antenna input on your VCR/satellite
receiver/cable box.

decoder to your VCR/satellite receiver/cable box.
See the manual for your decoder box for more detailed
instructions.
