Connecting the VCR to a Decoder/Connecting the VCR to a Stereo Amplifier

To connect this VCR to a decoder or a stereo amplifier, make the connections shown in the illustration below. For the connection to the TV, see pages 6–7.

For details about the connection, also read the operating instructions of the decoder or stereo amplifier. Be sure to keep the VCR, TV and decoder or stereo amplifier switched off until you have finished all connections.

For your safety, do not connect or handle the equipment with wet hands.

To Connect the VCR to a Decoder

Decoder here refers to the device used to decode scrambled broadcasts (Cable TV).

Example of NV-FJ780B

(51)

2 Connect the decoder’s mains lead to an AC

mains socket.

This VCR is not designed to control (switch on or change channel) your satellite receiver or Cable TV box, however, it can be taught to recognise VIDEO Plus+ Cod es for Satel lite stati ons. The Sat ellite rec eiver or Cabl e TV box mu st be sw itched on and the correct station selected. Some receivers have their own timer facility for this purpose. Please refer to your Satellite Receiver/ Cable TV box instructions for use of such timer facilities.

For your VCR to recognise the VIDEO Plus+ Codes for each satellite station, you must teach your VCR which channel or AV input to record from for the first time. Otherwise when setting a VIDEO Plus+ recording, the [ss] symbol will appear in the channel position indicating that the VCR does not know which channel position to set. Once you have set the channel/AV input once the VCR will remember it whenever you use a VIDEO Plus+ Code for the station again.
