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.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

	1. Connect a SCART cable				SH
	from the	SCART OUT			L I
	plug on the back of the				G
					EN
	RECORDER		to	the
	SCART IN plug on the
	back of your TV.
	2. Select SCART IN source
	on the TV.
	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 Multi-
	media Recorder (B).
	2. You will need to per-
	form a scan to tune in
	the available TV chan-
	nels on	the	recorder.
	Please see Autoscan for
	TV channels in the Sys-
	tem 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:

Getting Started - Installation - 11

Component Video (Progressive Scan)

Component Video (Interlace)

SCART (RGB)

S-Video

Composite Video

A - Connect to TV using composite video

1.Connect a video cable from the CVBS out plug (yellow) on the back of the Recorder to the Video-in plug (yellow) on the TV.

2.Connect audio cables (cinch) from the Audio L/R out plugs (white/red) on the back of the Recorder to the Audio L/R in plugs (white/red) on the TV.

3.Select VIDEO in or CVBS in source on the TV

B- Connect to TV using S-Video

1.Connect an s-video cable from the S-VIDEO out plug (black) on the back of the Recorder to the S-VIDEO in plug (black) on the TV.

3.Select S-VIDEO in source on the TV

C- Connect to TV using video component (YUV or YCbCr)

Video component gives by far the best image quality for LCD and plasma TVs. In order to use video component connection, the RECORDER must already be connected to the TV using one of the previous connections (however, SCART is recommended).

1.Power on the TV and select the source corresponding to the RECORDER.

2.Power on the RECORDER.

3.Connect the 3 component video cables (red, green, blue) from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT plugs (red, green, blue) on the back of the RECORDER to the COMPONENT VIDEO IN plug (red, green, blue) on the TV.

5.Press MENU on the remote control.

6.Using the Navigation buttons, go to the GENERAL menu section.

7.Using the Navigation buttons and the OK button, change the SCART Output setting to YCbCr. Change the Video output format setting to Progressive if the TV supports Progressive Scan.

8.Select YUV or YCbCr source on the TV.

9.The SCART cable can be unplugged.

TIME SHIFTING

RECORDING / TIME SHIFTING MODE

There are two modes when displaying the TV tuner or an external source: Recording Mode and Time Shifting mode.

Recording mode

Time Shifting mode

• 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.

Note: Time Shifting is not available with a DV input. The available analogue video sources are as follows:

>SCART2

>CHXX (TV Tuner)

>F-COMP (Front Composite Video)

>F-SV (Front S-Video)

3.The screen will then show the time progression bar.

Current source

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

Available buffer for reviewing

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).

Pause Live TV

1.Switch to Time Shifting mode (see previous section).

2.Press Pause to pause live TV (or the selected analogue source).

3.Press Play/OK to resume.
