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.
• You can only program a timer recording for one channel at a time if you are not using the Controller.
Set the TV and the VCR to the Cable Box/DBS output channel (channel 03 or 04); set the CH3/CH4
switch to the same channel. 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 channel 03 or 04 (the Cable Box/DBS
output channel). (This is step 3 on page 40.) Leave the Cable Box/DBS on for a timer recording.
• To set up the Controller, see pages 49-53.
