Sansui VRDVD4005

[Don E]

Recently went to digital cable with the cable box. After being unsuccessful in connecting my Sansui VRDVD4005 recorder to the cable box per the Sansui Owner's Manual, I had to get assistance from the cable provider. The "cable guy" has me up and running, but I can no longer use the recorder menu screen feature for setting up the various recorder functions like timed recording, dubbing etc. The menu screen will appear on the TV screen after pressing the set up button, but no selections can be made. The "cable guy" connected the recorder AUDIO L, AUDIO R and VIDEO ports to the TV and the cable box is connected to the recorder via the UHF/VHF IN port. The only thing I can use the Sansui recorder remote for is playing VHS tapes and DVD's. If I want to record anything, it can only be the channel I'm watching and I have to manually press the button on the recorder. The "cable guy" suggested I contact Sansui for suggestions so that I can use the on screen programing feature, which I didb ut no reply. Any suggestions for what I can try next?

It was a simple case of setting the clock time. DUH!!
