Wait until it finishes.
Load a cassette with the record safety

with a cassette on which the safety
tab is intact.

recorded in its entirety. Next time
make sure you have enough time on
the tape to record the entire program.

After confirming your cable box’s
output channel number, re-access the
Cable Box Output screen and select
