INSTALLATION OF A SKY DIGIBOX RECEIVER

SATELLITE RECEIVER / CABLE BOX CONTROL

If you have a satellite receiver or cable box connected to your VCR you can automatically

install the satellite channels using this feature. The installation procedure for cable boxes is the

same as for satellite receivers (for cable box connections refer to your cable box manual).

Follow steps 1-4 below before INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:

Connect your satellite receiver to the VCR as previously shown.

Place the satellite receiver near the VCR (ideally on the top). This ensures that the

reflected infrared signals from the VCR which control the satellite receiver can reach it

unimpeded.

Ensure all the channels you wish to be tuned are within channel positions 1-99 on your

satellite receiver as the VCR will only tune the first 99 channels - refer to your satellite

receiver operation manual for instructions on moving channels.

”

Ensure the receiver is not in any special mode.

• The satellite channels can now be tuned in as part of the auto-installation procedure.

You will be prompted for further information from the on-screen displays.

• SHARP cannot guarantee this feature will work with all satellite receivers and cable

boxes.

• See the list of satellite receiver manufacturers codes at the end of this manual.

All information relevant to satellite receiver control will display this symbol.

BASIC OPERATION

SCART LEAD CONNECTION (NOT SUPPLIED)

A scart lead can be connected at any time. It is recommended to connect your TV and VCR in this way as it will provide improved picture and sound quality. Please refer to the connection diagram on page 4.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON YOUR VCR AND VIDEO TAPES

VIDEO TAPES

• If you use only good quality video tapes, generally it will not be necessary to clean the video heads.

• If poor quality tapes are used, or if a tape is loaded after changing VCR location, oxide from the tape may “clog” the video heads. This will cause the playback picture to be “snowy”, or even disappear.

• To remove minor contamination run a video tape in visual search mode. If this fails, you will need to have the heads cleaned by a SHARP Service Facility. Please note, if cleaning is necessary it is not covered by the guarantee.

• Use video tapes which carry the mark for VHS and S-VHS ET recording and playback.

• Use video tapes which carry the mark for Super VHS recordings and playback.

SECAMPAL

HOW TO PLAYBACK A VIDEO TAPE

BEFORE YOU PLAYBACK A VIDEO TAPE

Condensation forms in the VCR when it is moved out of or into a warm place. If you try to playback or record, the video tape and VCR may be damaged. Turn the VCR on and wait for about two hours until the VCR reaches room temperature before operating.

PLAYBACK

Switch on your TV and select the video channel.

2. Carefully push a pre-recorded video

3. To continue recording, press REC ().

4. To stop recording, press STOP (). NOTES:

• Direct TV Recording may not work if the channel download procedure has not been completed.

• A fully wired scart must be used for DIRECT TV RECORD operation.

• If DIRECT TV RECORD could not start, the TV should indicate the reason why. (Refer to the TV operation manual).

TIMER RECORDING

It is possible to program the VCR using three different methods:-

1. NexTView

2. Videoplus

3. Manually (DELAYED RECORDING)

HOW TO USE NexTView TO MAKE A RECORDING

• If appears on the VCR display, press TIMER ON/OFF before starting.

• Check that the clock is displaying the correct time.

• Select either S-VHS AUTO or OFF in the Mode Menu for your preferred recording format. Some broadcasts transmit an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) in which case, using the TV con-

trols, the program you wish to record can be selected and used to program the VCR automatically. This feature is compatible with NexTView TV’s. Refer to your TV operation manual for further information. After transfer of the timer information to the VCR, the timer menu will be displayed for approximately 5 seconds, after which press VCR in STANDBY mode.

will be shown on the display.

NOTES:

• The timer menu will not be displayed if this procedure is carried out while the VCR is in STANDBY mode.

• VPS/PDC is a signal broadcast by some TV stations which adjusts the start and stop time of your VCR recording. This ensures that if there is a change in broadcast time for your programme the VCR will still record the whole programme. It is essential that the start time as it appears in the TV listing is used to program the VCR, as this information is used to identify the VPS/PDC signal corresponding to your programme.
