Helpful Hints
•To watch TV, put the Recorder in Monitor mode and on channel 3 or 4. (Press MONITOR on the Recorder’s remote.) Change TV channels at your Cable Box.
•The Recorder’s display may show “IS TV ON? C04” instead. If so, put the TV on channel 4.
•If you need to use TV channel 4 but “IS TV ON? C03” appears on the display, press and hold the Number 4 button on the Recorder’s remote. After several seconds, the display will change to “IS TV ON? C04.” Set your TV to channel 4.
Likewise, if the display shows “IS TV ON? C04” and you need TV channel 3, press and hold Number 3. Use this procedure while the Recorder is on and “IS TV ON?...” shows on the display.
•You can use the connections between the Recorder and a TV/Stereo shown on pages 12- 16 instead. You will choose a dif- ferent Video In channel at the TV.
