Note: The GUIDE Plus+ system’s One-Touch VCR Recording feature is not available with this connection. If you want to use the One-Touch VCR Recording feature with your cable box, you must use the TV and VCR connection on page 8. You can do so by routing the signal from your cable box into the antenna input on your VCR. Note that PIP won’t work if you use this connection. This connection may not be compatible with all cable services, especially if some or all cable channels are scrambled.
