You need to subscribe to a cable TV service to enjoy viewing their programming.

Consult your service provider regarding appropriate cable TV box.

If you receive your programming solely from a satellite service, the program guide in this unit will not receive program listings or
channel information. Without this information, program-based recordings cannot be made. However, recordings can still be set
manually.

The connection will allow the video cassette recorder to be used
for playback when this unit is turned off. For optimum operation, it
is recommended that this unit be connected as shown below.

Should I use the AUDIO/VIDEO OUT terminal or
the RF OUT terminal?

If your cable TV box has both AUDIO/VIDEO OUT terminals and
RF OUT terminals, we recommend connecting the AUDIO/VIDEO
OUT terminal with the unit’s IN3 terminal. Using this connection
provides the better picture quality.

The S-VIDEO terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the
VIDEO terminal.

Why should I connect the IR Blaster?

To download program listings, the TV Guide On Screen

TM

system

needs to be able to change channels on your cable box when the
unit is not in use. Please connect the supplied IR Blaster cable to
the G-LINK jack of the unit. After you connect the IR Blaster cable
you will be able to control your cable box using the unit’s remote
control.

Place the IR Blaster in front of the signal sensor of the cable TV box.
