≥
You need to subscribe to a cable TV service to enjoy viewing their programming.
≥
Consult your service provider regarding appropriate cable TV box.
≥
If you receive your programming solely from a satellite service, the program guide in this unit will not receive program listings or
channel information. Without this information, program-based recordings cannot be made. However, recordings can still be set
manually.
The connection will allow the video cassette recorder to be used for playback when this unit is turned off. Change the video input appropriately
on the television. For optimum operation, it is recommended that this unit be connected as shown below.
∫
Should I use the AUDIO/VIDEO OUT terminal or
the RF OUT terminal?
If your cable TV box has both AUDIO/VIDEO OUT terminals and
RF OUT terminals, we recommend connecting the AUDIO/VIDEO
OUT terminal with the unit’s IN3 (L3) terminal. Using this
connection provides better picture quality.
≥
The S-VIDEO terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the
VIDEO terminal.
∫
Why should I connect the IR Blaster?
The IR Blaster is a device that allows this unit to communicate with
the cable TV box. It acts like a remote control for the cable TV box.
If you connect a cable TV box to this unit, you also need to attach
the IR Blaster so this unit can control the channels on the cable TV
box.
Place the IR Blaster in front of the signal sensor of the cable TV box.
