Through the aerial cable
You can also connect extra equipment between the external aerial cable and your video recorder.
Set the equipment to produce a picture you will recognise (please read the equipment’s instruction
book to find out how to do this). Then tune one of the video recorder’s programme numbers to the
new equipment. ‘Manual channel search’ on page 14 tells you how to do this. Please also read
‘What to do if you get picture interference’ on page 12.
Through scart cables
If you have not already used the scart socket to connect to your television, you can connect
extra equipment such as a satellite receiver to the EURO AV scart socket. Some satellite and
digital television ‘set-top boxes’ have scart sockets labelled especially for your video recorder
and television. Please read the user instructions for your ‘set-top box’ for details. See
‘Recording from other equipment’ on page 30.
Through the front AV input
You can connect a camcorder, video game and so on to
the front audio and video (AV) input sockets if you have a
connecting cable ending in RCA phono plugs. Select and
monitor the front AV input by pressing the AV button until
‘F. AV’ appears on the screen. Please read the instructions
for the equipment and see ‘Recording from other
equipment’ on page 30.
The stand-by button
Power saving
When the video recorder is on stand-by, it is nearly all switched off,
uses little power and is ready to make timed recordings. The stand-by
button switches the video recorder on with one press and back to stand-
by with another press. The front-panel display of the video recorder gets
dimmer when the video recorder is on stand-by.
When you load a video cassette tape or press a control button, stand-by
is cancelled and the video recorder switches on.
Emergency exit
If you get into difficulties or you are not sure you are pressing the right
buttons, just press the stand-by button and start again. No matter which
buttons you press, you cannot damage your video recorder.
