A: Cable box or satellite receiver with a video/audio output
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. This connection is necessary to use the Synchro-Rec function
(pages 53 and 83).
To watch cable or satellite programs, you need to match the channel on the recorder (L1) 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.
