GETTING STARTED - INSTALLATION

CONNECT TO A TELEVISION (BASIC CONFIGURATION)

Step 1: Connect the antenna

1. Turn off your TV.

2. Unplug the antenna cable from the back of your TV and plug it into the ANTENNA IN connector on the back of the recorder.

3. Connect a coaxial aerial cable from the ANTENNA OUT connector on the back of the recorder to the ANTENNA IN plug on the back of your TV.

4. You will need to perform a scan to tune in the available TV channels on the recorder. Please see Autoscan for TV channels in the System Setup section later in this guide for more information.

1. Connect a SCART cable from the SCART OUT plug on the back of the RECORDER to the SCART IN plug on the back of your TV.

2. Select SCART IN source on the TV.

ENGLISH

1. Multimedia Recorder back panel

2. Antenna in

3. Aerial (or cable TV)

4. Antenna out, can be used to output TV signal to another TV set's RF signal input connector.

The TV signal output connector (antenna out) is only a loop-through of the input signal.

Step 2: Connect to TV using SCART

CONNECT A TV/SATELLITE DECODER

1. Connect a SCART cable from the SCART OUT plug on the back of the decoder (A) to the SCART IN plug on the back of the Multimedia Recorder (B).

2. You will need to perform a scan to tune in the available TV channels on the recorder. Please see Autoscan for TV channels in the System Setup section later in this guide for more information.

CONNECT TO A TELEVISION (ALTERNATIVE

CONFIGURATION)

If you wish to use a connection other than the SCART cable, you can use one of the following configurations (not included) starting with the best (in terms of quality) in descending order:

• Recording mode

In Recording mode, analogue sources and DV input can be recorded. Recordings can be made to the HDD or a DVD.

• Time Shifting mode

In Time Shifting mode, only analogue sources can be recorded. Recordings can only be made to the HDD. The Time Shifting mode enables the user to "pause and control live TV". From the moment the Multimedia Recorder is in Time Shifting mode, it will continuously record the analogue source (TV for example) into its 1, 3 or 6 hours buffer. This gives the possibility for the user to review and record the last 1, 3 or 6 hours that have been previously broadcasted.

Activate the Time Shifting mode

1. Press the TV-HDD button.

2. Repeatedly press the Source button until the desired source is selected. The source status is displayed on the top right of the screen.

4. As the time progresses, the time bar will show the buffer progression.

During Time Shifting, a Timer recording may be displayed. As you cannot watch one programme in Time Shifting and record another channel, the recorder will prompt you to confirm if you want to keep the current channel or proceed with Timer recording. If there is no response, the recorder assumes Timer recording should be started. The message will appear 2 minutes before the Timer recording is due.

Time shifting is stored in a buffer that contains 3 hours of recording. After the recording time limit has been reached, the buffer will be progressively overwritten. If you need to keep the video contained in this buffer for future usage, you can save all or part of the buffer (see Past Capture section).
