When the unit is powered up you'll see a screen asking you to select the proper channel line-up. A channel line-up is the numerical designations for each station your cable company caries.
- Page 63 • The TV Guide On Screen system was designed such that all TV viewing would be done using your DVD Recorder to select the channels. When a cable box is used, and the DVD Recorder is placed in the standby mode, the DVD Recorder will cause the cable box to automatically scan channels to search for program data.

- Page 71 Answer: Refer to the TV Guide On Screen section of the owner’s manualor follow the on-screen setup diagram or your TV owner’s manual. 11. Q: I’ve entered the setup data. When will I be able to view my TV program listings and use other TV Guide On Screen system features?

In the SORT mode the user can skip to the next day’s listings by pressing the LEFT or RIGHT arrow key on the remote. Note: Time slots that have already passed cannot be accessed.
- Page 75 5. Q: Can I record one channel while watching another? Answer: (without a cable box) Yes. If the TV picture becomes “fuzzy” when the Recorder turns on to record, simply press the TV/VIDEO button on the remote (not necessary on “pass through” only units with no ¾ modulation).
