For those who want the convenience of DVD and VHS playback in a single unit, JVC offers the HR-XVC11B DVD/VCR combo. For recording TV programs to VHS, the deck includes JVC's Timer Link, a quick and easy solution for recording TV programs by connecting to a cable or satellite set-top box using an AV cable. The user selects the desired program using the set-top box electronic program guide and timer function. JVC's Timer Link feature senses the signal, automatically powers up the recorder and begins recording. Recording automatically stops and the recorder shuts off when the program ends. JVC research shows that the vast majority of set-top boxes come equipped with a timer. Other HR-XVC11B features include multi DVD (-R/RW and +R/RW) and JPEG playback, a coaxial digital output and AV analog input.

Product page gives insufficient information:
I purchased this product because the information seemed complete and it seemed to fit my existing equipment. I also saw reviews of other items which were less than cheering. This one was unreviewed, and, thus, a mistake to purchase. When I received the unit, after trying and failing to follow the instructions, I called JVC "product service" who tell me, for the first time, that this model is not supported by a simple cable connection, but needs a box. Thankfully, Amazon sent approval for return of the unit.... more info
