Connections

Connect a Cable TV or Satellite signal to the IN
jack on the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver.
2
Use an RF coaxial cable (as the one supplied) to
connect the OUT Jack on the Cable Box/Satellite
Receiver to the ANT-IN (Antenna In) jack on the
DVD/VCR.
3
Use a second RF coaxial cable to connect the ANT-
OUT (Antenna Out) jack on the DVD/VCR to the
TV's Antenna In jack.
Remember...
There are two ways to connect your Cable Box/Satellite Receiver
to the DVD/VCR. With the connection on this page:
Select TV channels at the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver, not the
DVD/VCR. To record or view TV channels, follow these steps:
1) Press VCR to put the DVD/VCR in VCR mode. The green
VCR light will appear on the front of the DVD/VCR.
2) Press SKIP i /CHo or SKIP j /CHp to set the
DVD/VCR to the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver output channel
(03 or 04).
3) Set the TV to the DVD/VCR's output channel (03 or 04).
The DVD/VCR's output channel is channel 3 when the
DVD/VCR is new. To change it from 3 to 4, press and hold the
(VCR) PLAY B button on the DVD/VCR for 3-5 seconds dur-
ing tape playback. For more details, see step 4 on page eight.
4) Select the channel you want to view/record at the Cable
Box/Satellite Receiver.
You may not view a channel other than the one you are
recording.
You can only program a timer recording for one channel at a
time. Set your Cable Box/Satellite Receiver to the channel you
want to record. When you enter the channel you want to
record in a timer recording, select channel 03 or 04 (the Cable
Box/Satellite Receiver output channel). (This is step 7 on page
38.) Leave the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver on for a timer
recording.
