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 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 111 and AV2/L1 In on page 111 for how to set them up.
1
• 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 IN (RF IN) jack on this
recorder.
2 Use another RF antenna cable to connect the
ANTENNA OUT of this recorder to the antenna input
on your TV.
3 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.
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 a
separate video component. (To use this feature when
the recorder is in standby,
Power Save must be set
to
Off
—see Power Save on page 109).
Note
1 For better quality video during HDD/DVD playback and recording, you can use the S-Video and RGB settings with AV connections. However,
for VHS playback and recording, the AV1 Out and AV2/L1 In settings (on page 111) must be set to Video .

Connecting to a cable box, satellite receiver or digital terrestrial receiver
If you have a cable, satellite or digital terrestrial receiver with a built-in decoder, connect it to this recorder and your TV
as shown on this page.
1
If you are using a separate decoder box for your cable/satellite TV, set up following the
instructions on the next page.
Using the setup on this page you can:
• Record any channel by selecting it on the cable box, satellite receiver or digital terrestrial receiver.
• Change channels and set timer recordings on the external receiver using the GUIDE Plus+
®
system (via the
G-LINK™ cable, and after setting up).
Important
• Do not connect this recorder to your TV ‘through’ an external VCR, satellite receiver or other component. Always
connect each component directly to your TV or AV amplifier/receiver.
1 Connect RF antenna cables as shown.
This enables you to watch and record TV channels.
2 Use a SCART cable (not supplied) to connect the
AV1(RGB)-TV AV connector to a SCART AV connector
on your TV.
This enables you to watch discs.
3 Use another SCART cable to connect the
AV2(INPUT 1/DECODER) AV connector to a SCART AV
connector on your cable box/satellite/digital
terrestrial receiver.
This enables you to record scrambled TV channels.
4 Plug the supplied G-LINK™ cable to the G-LINK™
jack.
This enables you to control the tuner in the external
receiver using the GUIDE Plus+
®
system.
Position the IR transmitter end of the G-LINK™ cable so
that the IR receiver on your cable/satellite/digital
terrestrial receiver will pick up the control signals (see
diagram).
See the manual that came with your cable/satellite/
digital terrestrial receiver if you’re not sure where the IR
receiver is on the front panel. Alternatively, experiment
with the remote control, operating it from very close
range until you find the place where the receiver
responds.
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 a
separate video component. (To use this feature when
the recorder is in standby,
Power Save
must be set
to Off —see Power Save on page 109).
Note
1 The diagram shows SCART video connections, but you can alternatively use any of the other audio/video connections.
