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 program 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 5 on page 35.) Leave the Cable Box/DBS on for a timer recording.

If you use the VCR Plus+ Programming system, set the Cable/TV channel to 03 or 04 (Cable Box/DBS output chan- nel) for every VCR Plus+ channel in the VCR Plus+ Cross Reference Map. You must set the Cable Box/DBS to the channel you want to record; leave the Cable Box/DBS on for the timer recording. Details are on page 39.
