Hookups and Settings
Connecting a cable box/satellite receiver and set top box controller
Connect the LINE IN jacks using an audio/video cord.
With this hookup, you can record any channel on the cable box or satellite receiver. Be sure that the cable
box or satellite receiver is turned on. This connection is necessary to use the Synchro-Rec function
(page 51).
To watch cable or satellite programs, you need to match the input source on the recorder (L1) to the input
jack connected to the cable box or satellite receiver (LINE 1 IN).
Place the set top box controller near the remote sensor on the cable box/satellite receiver.
About AV path through
The recorder automatically sends the input signal from the LINE 1 IN jacks to the LINE OUT VIDEO/
AUDIO jacks without turning itself on.
When you connect a cable box or satellite receiver to the LINE 1 IN jacks and your TV to the LINE OUT
(VIDEO/AUDIO L/R) jacks (page 15), you can watch programs from a cable box or satellite receiver on
the TV even when the recorder is turned off.
