Timer Recordings
With this connection, you may set a timer recording as described
on pages 28-31. However, you must remember the following:
● You can only program a timer recording for one channel at a
time.
● Set the TV and the VCR to the Cable Box output channel
(channel 3 or 4).
● When you are prompted to enter the channel you want to
record, select channel 3 or 4 (the Cable Box output channel).
(This is step 5 on page 29.)
● Set your Cable Box to the channel you want to record.
● Leave the Cable Box on while you are recording.
• With this hookup, channels cannot
be changed using the VCR remote
control. You must select channels at
the Cable Box.
• You can not view a channel other
than the one you are recording (the
instructions on page 26 do not work
with this hookup).
• You cannot program channels with
this hookup (as discussed on page
12).
2. Use RF coaxial cable (supplied) to
connect OUT Jack on Cable Box to
ANT(enna) IN Jack on VCR.
