•To record a cable program from the connected cable box: Enter the cable channel number by number buttons, PLAY or

STOP.

If your cable box is not remote-controllable, choose the desired channel (1 to 125) on the cable box.

•To record a satellite program from the connected DSS® satellite receiver:

Enter the satellite channel number (100 to 999) by number buttons, PLAY or STOP. (If a number 1 to 99 is entered, the VCR will record a TV/CATV program on the channel, not a satellite’s.)
