Connect a Cable TV or Satellite signal to the IN jack on the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver.

Use an RF coaxial cable to connect the OUT Jack on the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver to the System’s TV ANTENNA IN jack.

Use a second RF coaxial cable (one is supplied) to connect the System’s TV ANTENNA OUT jack to the TV’s Antenna In jack.

Set the P/I PROGRESSIVE switch on the rear of the System to I (Interlace).

You are ready to connect the AM and FM antennas and the Speakers. Go to pages 16-17 to connect these items.

When all connections are complete, plug in the power cords of the TV, Cable Box/Satellite Receiver, and the System.

Set your TV to channel 3. If you cannot use channel 3 at your TV, you can change the System’s output channel to channel 4. See step 6 on page eight for details.

If you have not turned on the System already, go to page 19 to complete the VCR’s First- Time Setup.

●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 8 on page 39.) Leave the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver on for a timer recording.

Helpful Hint

•If your Cable Box/Satellite Receiver has Audio/Video Out jacks, use audio/video cables to connect them to the AUDIO and VIDEO (VCR IN) jacks on the System.You will not need the RF coaxial cable as described at step 2.
