Connecting a cable box/satellite receiver and set top box controller
Connect the LINE 1 IN jacks using an audio/video cord.
With this hookup, you can record any channel on the cable box or satellite receiver. Be sure that the cable
box or satellite receiver is turned on. You need to connect to the LINE 1 IN (VIDEO/AUDIO) jacks for
the Synchro-Rec function (pages 54 and 80).
To record cable or satellite programs, you need to match the input source on the recorder (LINE1) to the
input jack connected to the cable box or satellite receiver (LINE 1 IN).
Place the set top box controller near the remote sensor on the cable box/satellite receiver.
To use an S video cord for enjoying higher quality images
Connect the LINE 1 IN S VIDEO jack using an S video cord (not supplied) instead of the yellow (video)
plug of the audio/video cord. Leave the audio plugs connected to the AUDIO L/R jacks. When using this
connection, be sure to set “Line1 Input” to “S-Video” in the “Video” setup (page 99).
You cannot use the Synchro-Rec function with this connection.
