Cable Box Connections

Follow these steps to connect a cable box or satellite receiver to your DVD 

Recorder:

1 Connect Incoming Cable to Cable Box

Connect a coaxial cable from your cable TV wall outlet to the input jack on 

your cable box.

2 Connect Cable Box to DVD Recorder

Connect a second coaxial cable from the output jack on the cable box to the 

ANTENNA IN jack on the back panel of the DVD Recorder.

3 Connect DVD Recorder to TV

Choose either Antenna Out or Line Out:

a. Antenna Out

Use if you have an older television with only a basic antenna input. Connect the 

supplied coaxial cable from the OUT TO TV jack on the back panel of the DVD 

Recorder to the antenna in jack on your television. 

b. Line Out

Use for better sound and picture quality if your television has audio/video 

inputs. Connect the supplied audio/video cable from the AUDIO/VIDEO OUT 

jacks on the back panel of the DVD Recorder to the line in jacks on your televi-

sion and/or stereo receiver.

4 Power on DVD Recorder, TV & Cable Box

Plug the DVD Recorder power cord into a standard electrical outlet, and turn on 

your television, DVD Recorder and cable box.

5 Select  Channel  3  or  Line

If you used the Antenna Out connection, tune your television to channel 3 (or if 

you prefer to use channel 4, see “Modulator Output” on page 42). If you used 

the Line Out connection, set your television to its appropriate video input.

6 Continue with Initial Setup

The Language setup menu will appear. Continue with “Initial Setup” on 

page 14.
