Then, with the VCR in VCR position (the VCR/TV light will appear on the display panel), use the CHANNEL o/p buttons to select the channel you want to record at the VCR. Start the recording.

2

Press the VCR/TV button once to put the VCR in TV position. (The VCR/TV light will disappear.)

Helpful Hint

When you play a tape, make sure the Cable Box/DBS is set to the same channel as the CH3/CH4 switch on the VCR. Set the TV to the Cable Box/DBS output channel (03 or 04).
