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
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 receiver and using the Auto Start
Recording feature (see Automatic recording from a satellite tuner on page 42).
• 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 amp/receiver.
1 Connect RF antenna cables as shown.
This enables you to watch and record TV channels.
2 Connect the AUDIO and VIDEO OUTPUT jacks (1
or 2) on this recorder to a set of audio/video inputs
on your TV using a set of A/V cables (as supplied).
This enables you to watch the output from this recorder.
3 Connect the audio/video output of your cable
box/satellite receiver to the INPUT jacks on this
recorder using a set of A/V cables.
This enables you to record scrambled TV channels.
