10 Hookups With a Cable Box/Direct Broadcast System  
There are two ways to connect your Cable Box/DBS to the DVD/VCR. With this connection:  
You may view any channel.  
You must select channels at the Cable Box/DBS. Channels cannot be changed at the DVD/VCR.  
You may not view a channel other than the one you are recording.  
You may not program channels at the DVD/VCR.  
You can only program a timer recording for one channel at a time. Set the TV and the DVD/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 37.)  
Leave the Cable Box/DBS on for a timer recording.
