your TV, then press the channel down button on your
TV's remote control until you see the recorder's built-in
live TV.

the TV.
– Check the recorder audio connection. See 'Basic
Recorder Connections - Connecting the video/audio

connected. See 'Step 1: Basic Recorder Connections -
Connecting the antenna cables' for details.

appear.
