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 the TV Guide On
Screen system does not display listings for satellite programming.

Note
Do not connect a hi-definition tuner using the component video cords. This recorder only accepts standard definition
interlace signals.
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 component video cord to the COMPONENT VIDEO IN jacks,
set “Line1 Input” in “Video” setup to “S Video” or “Component” (page 93). If you connect an S-video cord to the
LINE IN 3 jack, set “Line3 Input” in “Video” setup to “S Video” (page 93).
