Connections & Setup
Notes:
The GUIDE Plus+ system’s One-Touch VCR Recording feature is not available with this connection. If
you want to use the One-Touch VCR Recording feature with your cable box, you must use the TV and VCR
connection on page 8. You can do so by routing the signal from your cable box into the antenna input on
your VCR. Note that the PIP feature of your TV will be unavailable if you connect a cable box in this manner.
You must view PIP through the VCR with the above connection. For more information, go to page 37.
