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); set the CH3/CH4 switch on the back of the VCR to the same
channel. 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 29.) Leave the Cable Box/DBS on for a timer recording.
