Connecting to a cable box or satellite receiver (1)
If you are using a cable box or satellite receiver with only a few scrambled channels, follow the setup on this page
1
. If
many or all the channels are scrambled, we recommend using the setup on the following page.
Using the setup on this page you can:
• Record unscrambled channels by selecting them on this recorder.
• Record scrambled channels by selecting them on the cable box/satellite receiver.
• Watch one channel while recording another.
Important
• Do not connect this recorder ‘through’ your VCR, satellite receiver or cable box. Always connect each component
directly to your TV or AV amp/receiver.
1 Connect RF antenna cables as shown.
This enables you to watch and record TV channels.
2 Connect the AUDIO and VIDEO OUTPUT jacks (1
or 2) on this recorder to a set of audio/video inputs
on your TV using a set of A/V cables (as supplied).
This enables you to watch the output from this recorder.
3 Connect the audio/video output of your cable
box/satellite receiver to the INPUT 1 jacks on this
recorder using a set of A/V cables.
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 cable box
through the TV Guide On Screen
2
system.
Position the IR transmitter end of the G-LINK™ cable so
that the IR receiver on your cable box will pick up the
control signals (see diagram).
See the manual that came with your cable box 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.
Note
1. The diagram shows standard video connections, but you can alternatively use the S-video or component video connections if they’re available.
