Step 2: Connecting the
Cable Box/Satellite
Receiver (Tuner)
This recorder does not include a TV tuner.
To record TV programs on this recorder, you need
to connect the recorder to a tuner that has audio/
video output jacks.
If you have been using your VCR connected to an
antenna, connect this recorder to your VCR using
an audio/video cord. In this way, you will be able
to record TV programs.
You cannot record on this recorder if you have:
– a cable box or satellite receiver without audio/
video outputs.
– cable with no cable box.
– antenna only (no cable TV).
In the cases above, contact your cable service or
satellite service company to see if they can
provide you with a compatible cable box or
satellite receiver.
Using the cable box/satellite
receiver control function
This function allows the recorder to control a
cable box or satellite receiver via the supplied set
top box controller. You can also use the recorder's
remote control to change channels on the cable
box/satellite receiver whenever the cable box/
satellite receiver and the recorder are turned on.
To use the cable box/satellite receiver control
function, you need to:
– Check the brand code of your cable box/satellite
receiver. See "Cable Box/Satellite Receiver
Brand Code" (page 121).
– Connect the set top box controller (page 13).
– Set the brand code number and the recorder's
input that is connected to the cable box/satellite
receiver (page 23).
After setting up the cable box/satellite receiver
control, check that the recorder can correctly
control the cable box or satellite receiver
(page 25).

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.
