8 Hookups With a Cable Box / Direct Broadcast System
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), and 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 31.) Leave the Cable Box/DBS on for
a timer recording.
