channels.

channel on the cable box. Be sure that the cable box is turned
on.

LINE IN 1 or 3 jacks of this recorder. You can record unscrambled
channels by setting the recorder’s input to “L1” or “L3.”

recorder to the channel where the signal from the cable box appears on
the TV screen.

channels.
