A
B
Back of a VCR 
(Example only)
C
Connecting to a VCR or 
other similar device
This connection enables you to record 
from a video tape to a recordable DVD 
and allows the VCR to be used for 
playback even if the recorder is turned 
off.
IMPORTANT!
Your new recorder can replace the
VCR for all your recording needs.
Just unplug all the connections to
your VCR.
A
 Connect the existing Aerial/Satellite/
Cable TV signal (or from the Cable Box/ 
Satellite Receiver, labelled as RF OUT or 
TO TV) to the ANTENNA-IN 
 
socket on the recorder.
B
 Use the supplied RF coaxial cable to 
connect the TV-OUT 
 socket on the 
recorder to the aerial input socket (or 
labelled as VHF/UHF RF IN) on your TV.
C
 Use the SCART cable to connect the 
EXT1 TO TV-I/O socket on the 
recorder to the corresponding SCART 
input socket on the TV.
D
 Use another SCART cable to connect the 
EXT2 AUX-I/O socket on the recorder 
to the SCART output socket (or labelled 
as TV OUT or TO TV) on the VCR.
Helpful Hints:
–  Most commercial video cassettes and 
DVDs are copy-protected and therefore 
cannot be recorded.
–  Connect the recorder directly to the TV. If 
there is a VCR or an additional device in 
between, the picture quality may be poor 
because of the copy protection system built 
into the recorder.
