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. The television sound will be mono if you listen through this connection.
Through the EURO AV2 / DECODER scart socket
You can connect extra equipment such as a satellite receiver or a decoder to the EURO AV2/DECODER
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.
Select and monitor the AV2 input by pressing the AV button until ‘AV2’ appears on the screen. How to
make a recording from equipment connected to the AV2 scart socket is described under ‘Recording from
other equipment’ on page 30 and ‘Tips for using a decoder’ on page 40.
You can set the EURO AV2 scart socket to work either as a normal scart socket or as a decoder socket.
In the UK, decoders are usually part of a satellite receiver or digital television ‘set-top box’, so you
would not normally need to use the decoder feature. Appendix 2 at the back of this booklet tells you
how to use a decoder with this video recorder.
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.
Amplifier
A hi-fi amplifier or a surround-sound amplifier will reproduce sound from your video recorder if it is
connected using the RCA sockets marked ‘AUDIO-L’ and ‘R’ at the back of your video recorder. Please
read the amplifier instruction book to find out how to do this. We have shown the amplifier connection
in ‘Typical connections for a satellite or digital receiver with a video recorder and a hi-fi amplifier’ on
the previous page.
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.
