Connecting the Set Top Box controller

You can have the recorder change the channel of your cable box or satellite
receiver to the channel you want to record, just before the timer recording starts.
Connect the Set Top Box controller(supplied), and select "Yes" in step 9 of Setup
on the next page.

Connecting a VCR or similar device

To record your video tapes to a DVD, connect an audio/video cable (not supplied)
to the LINE OUT 1 jacks on your VCR to the LINE 3 IN jacks on the recorder. To
just watch your video tapes, connect your VCR’s LINE OUT 2 jacks directly to

any

unused LINE IN jack on your TV.

NOTE

Do not connect your VCR between this DVD recorder
and your TV. If you do not first connect your
VCR to the recorder, you will be unable to watch
pictures from your recorder.

the TVS surround effects of this recorder, while connecting with digital cords
