A: Cable box or satellite receiver with a video/audio output
With this hookup, you can record any channel on the cable box or satellite receiver. Be sure that the
satellite receiver or cable box is turned on.
To watch cable or satellite programs, you need to match the channel on the recorder (L1 or L3) to the
input jack connected to the cable box or satellite receiver (LINE IN 1 or 3). Note that satellite receiver
programs do not appear in the TV Guide On Screen system.
z Hints
• If your cable box or satellite receiver has an S-video jack or component output jacks, you can use an S-video cord (not
supplied) or component video cord (not supplied) instead of the audio/video cord. When you connect using a
component video cord, connect the audio cords to the LINE IN jacks.
• If you connect an S-video cord to the LINE IN 1 jack or a component video cord, set “Line1 Input” in Video Setup to
“S Video” or “Component” (page 89). If you connect an S-video cord to the LINE IN 3 jack, set “Line3 Input” in
Video Setup to “S Video” (page 89).
