8 Hookups With a Cable Box/Direct Broadcast System
There are two ways to connect your Cable Box/DBS to the VCR. With this connection:
•You may view any channel.
•You must select channels at the Cable Box/DBS. Channels cannot be changed at the VCR.
•You may not view a channel other than the one you are recording.
•You may not set up channels at the VCR.
•You can only program a timer recording for one channel at a time. Set the TV and the VCR to the Cable Box/DBS output channel (channel 03 or 04), and set your Cable Box/DBS 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/DBS output channel). (This is step 3 on page 36.) Leave the Cable Box/DBS on for a timer recording.
