Important l Do not connect the power until all other connections are made. l Until you have completed the on-screen installation procedure, the buttons on the front of the recorder will not work. 1 Connecting the antenna l Remove the antenna (aerial) cable plug from your TV set and insert it into the antenna socket at the back of the DVD recorder. l Plug one end of the antenna (aerial) cable supplied (1) into the TV socket on the DVD recorder and the other end into the antenna input socket on your TV set. 2 Connecting a TV set l Connect at least the SCART, S-Video or CVBS output to the TV. Normally SCART (2) is the best connection. l If your TV has EasyLink, connect the SCART first, before connecting the power. Connect the DVD Recorder to the TV’s EasyLink connector. Check your TV manual for the appropiate SCART input. l When connecting a second TV, preferably use the SCART, S-Video or CVBS output. In case you want to use an antenna cable, make use of a VCR or another external RF modulator. Note: 16:9 widescreen TVs may show only part of the DVD recorder’s menu in certain screen modes. Change the screen mode on the TV to see the full menu. 3 Connecting a VCR l When connecting a VCR, the best order for the SCART connection is VCR - DVD Recorder - TV. 4 Connecting the power l Make sure that all necessary connections are made before connecting the DVD recorder to the power supply. l Plug the power cable supplied into the Power connector on the rear of the recorder.
