insert it into the aerial socket at the back of the
recorder. Plug one end of the aerial cable into the TV
socket on the recorder and the other end into the aerial
input socket on your TV set.
RF coaxial connection
Connect the ANTENNA OUT jack on the Recorder to
the aerial input jack on the TV using the 75-ohm
Coaxial Cable supplied (R). The ANTENNA OUT jack
passes the signal through from the ANTENNA IN jack.

responding jacks on the TV using the scart cable (T).

to the S-Video in jack on the TV using the S-Video
cable (S).
Component Video connection
Connect the COMPONENT OUTPUT jacks on the
Recorder to the corresponding input jacks on the TV
using an Y Pb Pr cable (C).
If your television is a high-definition or “digital ready”
television, you may take advantage of the recorder’s
progressive scan output for the highest video resolution
possible. If your TV does not accept the Progressive
Scan format, the picture will appear scrambled if you
try Progressive Scan on the recorder.
otes
– Set the resolution to 576p using RES. button on the
unit front panel for progressive signal.
– Progressive scan does not work with the S-VIDEO
connection.
– If you are using the COMPONENT OUTPUT jacks,
but are connecting the unit to a standard (analog) tel-
evision, set the resolution to “576i”.
Caution
If the resolution is set to 720p or 1080i, S-VIDEO
OUTPUT and COMPONENT OUTPUT connections are
not available.

Connect the left and right AUDIO OUTPUT jacks of the
Recorder to the audio left and right IN jacks on the TV
