the RF ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT jack to make sure the cable is connected properly.

The Channel List contains the channels you tune to when you press the CH+ and
CH- (channel up and channel down) buttons on the remote control. From the
Channel List screen, you can delete channels you rarely watch.You’ll still be able to
tune to the “deleted” channels directly by using the number buttons on the remote
control, but the DVD Recorder won’t tune to a channel you delete when you press
the CH+/CH- buttons on the remote control.
Press the down arrow button to scroll through the channels, or press the CH-
button to scroll a screen at a time. A checkmark in the box next to the channel
means it has been stored in the channel list. Follow the on-screen instructions to
delete a channel in the list, or add one that isn’t in the list.You can also label channels
by pressing the INFO button.
To skip editing the channel list, press the right arrow button.
