8 Hookups With a Cable Box/Direct Broadcast System There are two ways to connect your Cable Box/DBS to the VCR. With this connection: q You may view any channel. q You must select channels at the Cable Box/DBS. Channels cannot be changed at the VCR. q You may not view a channel other than the one you are recording. q You may not program channels at the VCR. q You can only program a timer recording for one channel at a time. Set the TV and the VCR to the Cable Box/DBS output channel (channel 03 or 04); set the CH3/CH4 switch to the same channel. Set your Cable Box/DBS 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/DBS output channel). (This is step 5 on page 29.) Leave the Cable Box/DBS on for a timer recording. 1 Cable Box/DBS 2 VCR IN OUT 75 CAANBTLE/ Cable Signal RF coaxial cable AUDIO L OUT IN R ANT IN VIDEO OUT CH3 CH4 OUT IN RF coaxial cable 3 TV's ANTENNA IN Jack Connections 1 Connect a Cable signal to the IN Jack on the Cable Box/DBS. 2 Use an RF coaxial cable (supplied) to connect the OUT Jack on the Cable Box/DBS to the ANT(enna) IN Jack on the VCR. 3 Use a second RF coaxial cable to connect the OUT Jack on the VCR to the TV's ANTENNA IN Jack.
