by way of a control signal sent through the scart cable.

number, manually change to the corresponding programme number on your
TV set (see your TV's operating instructions).
Then, read the paragraph 'Initial installation' in the chapter 'Installing your video recorder'.

Have the following cables ready:
an aerial cable (1, supplied), a mains cable (2, supplied).

2 Remove the aerial cable plug from the aerial input socket of the TV
set. Insert it into the socket 2 at the back of the video recorder.
3 Insert one end of the supplied aerial cable into the socket TV at the
back of the video recorder and the other end into the aerial input
socket at the back of the TV set.
4 Insert one end of the supplied mains cable into the mains socket
4 at the back of the video recorder and the other end into the wall
socket.
5 Switch on your TV set and select the programme number used for
video playback on your TV set (see your TV's operating instructions).
Which programme number is used for video recorder operation?
To ensure the stability of the television picture during cassette playback
(prevention of waves or streaks), special programme numbers have been set
aside on the TV for the use of video recorders. This is usually the highest
possible programme number, e.g. '12', '16', '99' or even programme number
'0'. For more information, please see your TV's operating instructions.
