Timer Recordings
With this connection, you may set a timer recording as described
on pages 34 - 36. However, remember the following:
• Set the TV and the VCR to the Cable Box/DSS Receiver output
channel (03 or 04).
• When you are prompted to enter the channel you want to
record, select channel 03 or 04 (the Cable Box/DSS Receiver out-
put channel). This is step 5 on page 35. But, if you are using the
Controller, enter the Cable Box channel that you wish to record.
• Set your Cable Box/DSS Receiver to the channel you want to
record.
• Leave the Cable Box/DSS Receiver on while recording.
• With this hookup, select channels at
the Cable Box/DSS Receiver.
• If your Cable Box/DSS Receiver has
VIDEO/AUDIO OUT Jacks, use
video and audio cables to connect
these jacks to the VIDEO/AUDIO IN
Jacks on the VCR.
• You can not view a channel other
than the one you are recording.
(The instructions on page 33 do not
work with this hookup.)
• You cannot program channels with
this hookup (as discussed on page
12).
• You may only program a timer
recording for one channel at a time
if you are not using the Controller. If
you are using the Controller, you
may program timer recordings for
more than one channel at a time.
Details are on pages 42 - 46.
