• Turn off all the equipment including the TV before connecting anything.
Connecting the aerial
• The connecting cables are not provided.
• For further details, refer to the manuals provided with the devices to be connected.
If you connect via a device with an
antenna terminal such as a VCR,
follow A→B→C in the diagram
opposite.
If you connect the antenna
directly to the TV, follow 1.
To use the T-V LINK functions, you must
have a T-V LINK compatible VCR
connected by a SCART cable C to the EXT2 terminal on the TV. For details about T-V
LINK functions, see “T-V LINK functions”
on page 11.
• To connect more equipment, please see
“Connecting external equipment” on

compatible VCR, set the DECODER
(EXT-2) function to ON. For details, see
“DECODER (EXT-2)” on page 41.
Otherwise, you will not be able to watch
scrambled channels.
• When receiving Digital terrestrial
broadcasting (DVB-T), reception can
suddenly be lost if the signal becomes
weak. Use a correctly installed highperformance antenna.
• When connecting via a device with an
antenna terminal such as a VCR, depending
on the connection method, the signal may
be weakened. If this happens, use a booster
to increase the signal strength.
• In areas with a lot of radio communication
such as near ports or airports, noise may
be introduced into the picture or sound. In
such cases, reception may be improved by
using a high-performance antenna.
• Read the instruction manual of the
devices which you connect to the TV.
• Operate only from the power source specified
(AC 220 – 240 V, 50 Hz) on the unit.
Putting the batteries into the

from more than one transmitter, for
example different ITV regions. In this
case each TV channel could be set twice.
If this happens, the first set of channels
will have the stronger signal. If you want
to delete the second set of channels, you
will have to do it manually (see page 36).

channel on the TV. However, some VCRs
can record a TV channel by using the TV’s
output if that channel can be viewed on the
TV. For details, see your VCR instruction
manual.
Do not turn the TV off in the following
cases.
• when recording images from an external
device connected to the TV (for example
a camcorder)
• when recording a TV channel after it has
been unscrambled on a decoder
• when recording a TV channel by using the
TV’s output because the VCR’s own
tuner cannot properly receive that
channel.
• when recording Digital terrestrial
