Tips for using a decoder
• Decoding signals from the video
When the second scart socket is set to ‘Decoder’ and you press the TV/VCR button to make ‘VCR’ appear in the video’s display, the satellite or cable decoder controls the video. If the decoder is on, the channel you have chosen on the video will be decoded. You can record the decoded signals by following ‘Simple recording’ on page 18.
• Decoding signals from the television
When the second scart socket is set to ‘Decoder’ and you press the TV/VCR button to make ‘VCR’ disappear from the video’s display, the satellite or cable decoder controls the television. If the decoder is on, the picture and sound signals from the television will pass through it for decoding. You can record the decoded signals if you press the AV button to get ‘AV’ on the video’s display and follow ‘Simple recording’ on page 18.
This only happens if the television and video are connected through the scart sockets and you have made the appropriate connections.
