To fix the set top box controller to your cable
box/satellite receiver

Once you have confirmed that the set top box
controller controls your cable box or satellite
receiver, fix it in place.

Remove the backing on the double-sided tape.

Attach it so that the set top box controller is
directly above the remote control sensor on
your cable box/satellite receiver.

Set Top Box Control

If you want to use the cable box/satellite
receiver control (page 15), select “Yes,” and
set the brand code and the cable box output
channel (page 90).
If you do not have a cable box/satellite
receiver, select “No.”

Tuner Preset

“Tuner Preset” appears only when you set
“Set Top Box Control” to “No.”
Select whether or not you have a cable
connection.
The Tuner Preset function automatically
searches for all of the receivable channels and
presets them.
To set the channels manually, see page 88.

TV Type

If you have a wide-screen TV, select “16:9.”
If you have a standard TV, select either “4:3
Letter Box” (shrink to fit) or “4:3 Pan Scan”
(stretch to fit). This will determine how
“wide-screen” images are displayed on your
TV.

Audio Connection

If you connected an AV amplifier (receiver)
using either a digital optical or coaxial/HDMI
cord, select “Yes: DIGITAL OUT” and set the
digital output signal (page 94).

Press ENTER when “Finish” appears.

“Easy Setup” is finished.

To return to the previous step

Press

RETURN.

Hint

If you want to run “Easy Setup” again, select “Easy
Setup” from “SETUP” in the System Menu (page 99).

Note

If you use an S-video cord to connect your cable box or
satellite receiver, set “Line1 Input” or “Line3 Input” in
“Video” setup to “S Video” (page 93).

Point the DVD recorder’s remote at the
recorder (not at the cable box/satellite
receiver).

Press CH +/– and check that the channel
changes on the cable box/satellite receiver
window.

Press the number buttons and check that
the channel changes on the cable box/
satellite receiver window.

Tune your cable box to channel 02. Then
using your DVD recorder’s remote, enter 09
to tune your cable box to channel 09. Did the
cable box change to channel 09? If the cable
box did not tune to channel 09, follow the
instructions below for getting your recorder to
control your cable box.

If you cannot get the recorder to control your
cable box/satellite receiver

Check the settings at “Set Top Box Control” in
“Settings” setup (page 90). If more than one code
number is listed for your cable box/satellite
receiver, try entering them one at a time until you
find the one that works with your cable box/
satellite receiver.
Check the connection and position of the set top
box controller (page 15).
If your cable box or satellite receiver still does not
operate with this recorder, contact your cable or
satellite company to see if they can provide you
with a compatible cable box or satellite receiver.
