Notes about cable boxes:
If you have questions about using a cable box with the DVD recorder, consult your cable company. RCA can only provide general
instructions because cable services and cable boxes differ in various areas. This connection only shows a basic RF Coaxial Cable

If you connect your components as described, you must access different Video Input Channels on your TV to see programming. If you don’t know how to
access Video Input Channels on your TV, go to page 18 for help. A general explanation, based on the connection shown above, follows:
To watch one program while you
record another: Tune the TV to its Input 1 channel or Vid 1 channel.
Tune the DVD recorder to the cable box channel (usually channel 2, 3, or 4).
Use the channel buttons on the cable box to tune to the channel you want to record. Press the
RECORD button on the DVD recorder.
Use the buttons on the TV (or the TV’s remote control*) to tune the TV to the channel you want
to watch.
