Philips VRB661AT - Manual (Page 8)

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 program channels at the VCR.
You can only program a timer recording for one channel at a time. 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 5 on page 34.) Leave the Cable Box/DBS on for a timer
recording.
If you use the VCR Plus+ Programming system, set the Cable/TV channel to 03 or 04 (Cable Box/DBS output chan­
nel) for every VCR Plus+ channel in the VCR Plus+ Cross Reference Map. You must set the Cable Box/DBS to the
channel you want to record; leave the Cable Box/DBS on for the timer recording. Details are on page 39.
