6.0 Recording to external device via VCR scart

This receiver is a Digital Dual Video Satellite Receiver which contains two separate reception

components (tuners).

Tuner 1 is connected to LNB IN 1 and works as standard tuner of box (Master).

Tuner 2 is connected to LNB IN 2 and works as additional tuner which can be connected to an external

device (f.e. VCR or DVD-recorder).

This allows you to record one separate program to an external device using VCR scart output while you

can watch different program on TV set via TV scart.

Note: It is recommended to connect both LNB input to same LNB (i.e. to ﬁxed Twin LNB or

multiswitch system). You also can connect two or more satellite dishes (i.e. Astra 19.2 E and

Hot Bird) to one or both LNB input of the box with DiSEqC switch or multiswitch system. Please

note that you have to connect it Right way. Every input must be connected to separate switch

(including Astra and Hot Bird signal) or to multiswitching system. You also have to use correct

DiSEqC settings (i.e. Astra 19.2E as DiSEqC Input 1 and Hot Bird as DiSEqC Input 2).

It is not sense full to connect different satellites to LNBs input of box (i.e. Astra 19.2 E to LNB input 1

and Hot Bird to LNB input 2). This is not a sense of Digital Dual Video Satellite Receiver.
