8 Hookups with Cable Box/Satellite
There are two ways to connect your Cable Box/Satellite to the VCR.With this connection:
● You may view any channel. Select channels at the Cable Box/Satellite, not at the VCR.
● You may not view a channel other than the one you are recording.
● Do not set up channels at the VCR.
● Program a timer recording for one channel at a time. Set the TV and the VCR to the Cable Box/Satellite
output channel (03 or 04); set the RF output channel of the VCR to the same channel (see page seven). Set
your Cable Box/Satellite to the channel you want to record.When you enter the channel you want to
record in a timer recording, enter 03 or 04 (the Cable Box/Satellite output channel). (This is step 7 on page
28.) Leave the Cable Box/Satellite on for a timer recording.
