Connecting to a cable box or satellite receiver (2)

If many or all the channels you receive by cable or satellite are scrambled, we recommend using this setup.

Using the setup on this page you can:

Record any channel by selecting it on the cable box/satellite tuner.

Record using the Auto Start Recording feature (see Automatic recording from a satellite tuner on page 51).

Important

Do not connect this recorder ‘through’ your VCR, satellite receiver or cable box. Always connect each component directly to your TV or AV amp/receiver.
