Connecting a video recorder, DVD player.
You can connect a video recorder or a DVD player to the
EXT2
AUX-I/O
input socket.
The DVD recorder must be connected
directly
to the TV set (
EXT1
TO TV-I/O
socket directly to the TV set). If there is a video recorder
in between the picture quality may be poor because of the copy
protection system built into the DVD recorder.
O
If you already have an external receiver (satellite receiver,
set-top box, cable TV box) connected to this socket, you can
connect the video recorder to the 'VCR', 'TO VCR', ...socket
of the external receiver.
O
You can also use the front sockets
S-VIDEO (CAM1)
,
VIDEO (CAM1)
and the
L AUDIO R (CAM1)
audio
sockets.
For more information read the chapter 'Recording on the
HDD'.
Connecting an external receiver
1
Connect the
output sockets
of the receiver (satellite receiver,
set-top box, cable TV box,...) provided for the TV set (usually
labelled 'TV', 'TO TV',...) with the
EXT2 AUX-I/O
socket of the
DVD recorder.
Connecting additional receivers
For additional receivers, you can also use the
EXT1 TO
TV-I/O
socket (if the TV set is connected only with the aerial cable or
with the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
sockets).
Connecting additional devices only via
aerial cable
If you want to connect additional devices (e.g. satellite receiver...) only
via aerial cable, please observe the following:
The DVD-Recorder must be connected directly to the TV set. If there
is a video recorder or an additional device in between, the picture
quality may be poor because of the copy protection system built into
the DVD-Recorder.
The additional device (satellite receiver) must be connected
before
the
DVD recorder (additional device - DVD recorder - TV set). Only the
TV set must be connected to the
TV OUT
socket.
If there is interference in the picture when the additional device is
switched on, a TV broadcaster may be transmitting on the same
channel or a channel very close to that of the additional device. (e.g.:
TV broadcaster on channel 45, additional device (satellite receiver)
also on channel 45). In this case, change the channel of the additional
device (satellite receiver). Consult the instruction manual of the
additional device.
You must also store this channel on the DVD recorder to be able to
record TV programmes from the additional device (satellite receiver).
Switch on the additional device during the installation of the DVD recorder.
During the automatic channel search, the channel on which the additional
device is transmitting will be stored as a TV channel.
