There are two ways to connect your Cable Box/DBS to the VCR. With this connection:
• You may view any channel.
• You must select channels at the Cable Box/DBS. Channels cannot be changed at the VCR.
• You may not view a channel other than the one you are recording.
• You may not set up channels at the VCR.
• Timer recordings are programmed differently. Set the TV and the VCR to the Cable Box/DBS output
channel (channel 03 or 04); set the VCR’s CH3/CH4 switch to the same channel.
If you are not using the Controller, set your Cable Box/DBS to the channel you want to record. When you
enter the channel you want to record in a timer recording, select the Cable Box/DBS output channel (03 or
04). This is step 3 on page 40.
If you are using the Controller, enter the channel that you want to record at step 3 on page 40 (not the
Cable Box/DBS output channel). The Controller will select the channel at the Cable Box/DBS for recording.
