the recorder needs to be placed in the middle of the digital cable and the television.

Contact the authorized service center for Magnavox or Philips. The main board to your TV is likely to be faulty.

Do you have a digital converter box. If not, you need to get one to receive the analog channels.

Some units use 3-digit set-up codes. If your remote uses 3 digit set-up codes, click here. If you are unsure whether your universal remote uses 3 digit or 4 digit set-up codes, check the battery cover.

That would depend on how your cable box audio is routed to the MRD.

I can't find a clear readout on its audio INPUT capabilities. If it does have a digital audio input you could probably run the cable box's digital audio output to it and you'll have surround. If it doesn't have a digital audio input you're limited to stereo audio from external sources. Then I would ask, what were they thinking when the didn't spec a digital input on a multichannel system?

You need to tune a chanel on your tv to the vcr signal, using an RF cable (aerial cable between vcr and tv). That is if your tv has an analogue tuner.

your model is "tuner free" that means it does not have the RF screw in connector. Buy one that has a tuner, preferably both ATSC(USA digital) and NTSC(USA analog)

You will have to go in the menu and switch it to cable mode, then do an autoprogram and you will have all the channels.
