power on. In this manual there are some of the most common ways to connect the equipment: TV, VCR and PVR. There are several ways of connecting the PVR to the existing Audio/TV system. We recommend one of the following setups. If you have problems with your connections and need help, contact your dealer or service provider. 1. Connection to TV, VCR and Hi-Fi 1-2) Connection to the VCR with the SCART Cable. Connect one end of the SCART cable to the VCR SCART socket on the PVR and the other end to a SCART socket on the VCR. INSTALLATION (Connection) 1-1) Connection to the TV with the SCART Cable. Connect one end of the SCART cable to the TV SCART socket on the PVR and the other end to a SCART socket on the TV.

Connect one end (3 connectors) of the CINCH cable to the AUDIO-RIGHT (red), AUDIO-LEFT (white) and the VIDEO output (yellow) socket on the PVR. Connect the other end (3 connectors) to the AUDIO-RIGHT (red), AUDIO-LEFT (white) and the VIDEO input (yellow) socket on the TV or Hi-Fi. 1-4) Connection to the TV using the RF cable. Connect a terrestrial antenna to RF IN socket on the PVR. Connect one end of the RF cable to the RF OUT socket on the PVR. Connect the other end to the ANT IN socket on the TV. 2.Connection to the Antenna. We recommend one of the following installation diagrams because of the LNB specifications for selecting RF signal band by DC voltage and 22Khz tone. If the PVR is installed with separated connection type, there is no restriction for zapping while recording.

Installing the PVR with two separated Antennas. The Connection Type in LNB setting menu should be set to Separated. 2-2) Installing the PVR with one Antenna. The Connection Type in LNB setting menu should be set to Loop Through. Tuner 1 and 2 can receive the RF signal of the same polarity and the same band. 2-3) Installing the PVR with one dual LNB Antenna. The Connection Type in LNB setting menu should be set to Separated.

Connect the satellite cable to the LNB IN socket on the PVR. With other connector, connect the LNB OUT socket on the PVR and the LNB IN socket of the other PVR or STB. 2-4) Installing the PVR with two separated dual LNB Antennas and DiSEqC switches. The Connection Type in LNB setting menu should be set to Separated.
