If you have a separate decoder connected to the  VCR’s  L2 input as previously shown in the 

“Connecting the Cables” section, 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.
