Helpful Hints

• To watch TV, put the
Recorder in Monitor mode
and on channel 3 or 4. (Press
MONITOR on the
Recorder's remote.) Change
TV channels at your Cable
Box or Satellite Receiver.
• If "IS TV ON? C03" appears on
the display panel, you need to
turn on your TV and set it to
channel 3. This is part of the
Initial Setup. You cannot see the
Initial Setup screens until you
turn on the TV and have it on
the correct Video In channel.
• You may need to use channel 4
at your TV instead. While "IS TV
ON? C03" appears on the
Recorder's display panel, press
and hold the Number 4 button
on the Recorder's remote. After
several seconds, the display will
change to "IS TV ON? C04." Set
your TV to channel 4. The Initial
