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 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.
