Connecting to a cable box or satellite receiver (1)

If you are using a cable box or satellite receiver with only a few scrambled channels, follow the setup on this page. If
many or all the channels are scrambled, we recommend using the setup on the following page.
Using the setup on this page you can:
• Record unscrambled channels by selecting them on this recorder.
• Record scrambled channels by selecting them on the cable box/satellite tuner and using the Auto Start Recording
feature (see Automatic recording from a satellite tuner on page 51).
• Watch one channel while recording another.
Important
• Do not connect this recorder 'through' your VCR, satellite receiver or cable box. Always connect each component
directly to your TV or AV receiver.
