If you connect a separate decoder to the VCR connected to L2 as previously shown, you will 
need to set the decoder function to 

 

 in order to record the descrambled signal and/or 

watch it on your TV. Now, when the VCR receives a scrambled signal it is output via LINE 2 
terminal to the decoder. The decoder then outputs the descrambled signal back to LINE 2 
terminal and the signal can be recorded. The VCR outputs the descrambled signal to your TV 
through the LINE1 terminal and you can watch the descrambled picture.

When making recordings using a separate decoder connected as shown remember to leave 
the decoder function ON.

If you connect a decoder unit to the VCR, the decoder unit provides a switching signal which 
will automatically allow your TV to display the descrambled signal routed through the VCR. To 
use this feature make sure that the VCR is connected to both TV and decoder unit by SCART 
leads. Then:

•

Press 

 

 to place the VCR in POWERSAVE mode or if disabled in STAND-BY mode. 

OR

•

Press 

 

 on the remote control to place the VCR in ‘VCR mode’. ‘VCR’ will 

appear on the display.

If you switch the decoder function ON when connected to a decoder unit as shown you will 
NOT be able to watch the descrambled picture in TV mode or in VCR mode.
