Remember...

There are two ways to connect your Cable Box/Satellite Receiver to the DVD/VCR. With the connection on this page:

●Select TV channels at the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver, not the DVD/VCR. To record or view TV channels, follow these steps:

1)Press VCR to put the DVD/VCR in VCR mode. The green VCR light will appear on the front of the DVD/VCR.

2)Press SKIP i/CHo or SKIP j/CHp to set the DVD/VCR to the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver output channel (03 or 04).

3)Set the TV to the DVD/VCR’s output channel (03 or 04). The DVD/VCR’s output channel is channel 3 when the DVD/VCR is new. To change it from 3 to 4, press and hold the (VCR) PLAY B button on the DVD/VCR for 3-5 seconds dur- ing tape playback. For more details, see step 4 on page eight.

4)Select the channel you want to view/record at the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver.

●You may not view a channel other than the one you are recording.

●You can only program a timer recording for one channel at a time. Set your Cable Box/Satellite Receiver to the channel you want to record. When you enter the channel you want to record in a timer recording, select channel 03 or 04 (the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver output channel). (This is step 7 on page 38.) Leave the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver on for a timer recording.

Helpful Hint

•If your Cable Box or Satellite Receiver has Audio and Video Out jacks, use audio and video cables to connect them to the VCR AUDIO IN and VIDEO IN jacks on the rear of the DVD/VCR. You will not need the RF coaxial cable con- nection between the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver and the DVD/VCR as described at step 2.
