Connecting a cable box/satellite receiver and set top box controller
Connect the LINE 1 IN jacks using an audio/video cord.
With this hookup, you can record any channel on the cable box or satellite receiver. Be sure that the cable
box or satellite receiver is turned on. You need to connect to the LINE 1 IN (VIDEO/AUDIO) jacks for
the Synchro-Rec function (pages 54 and 80).
To record cable or satellite programs, you need to match the input source on the recorder (LINE1) to the
input jack connected to the cable box or satellite receiver (LINE 1 IN).
Place the set top box controller near the remote sensor on the cable box/satellite receiver.
