Using

S VIDEO jacks?

See page 7.

For best results, use this connection if:

Your cable company scrambles some channels, such as premium channels (which requires you to use a cable box), but does not scramble all channels.

With this connection you can:

Use the TV remote control to change channels coming through the cable box. (You must first program the remote control for your specific cable box; see “Programming the Remote Control” on page 24.)

Use the TV remote control to change channels coming directly into the TV’s VHF/UHF jack. (The TV’s tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)

Record channels coming through the cable box and channels coming directly into the TV.

To connect a VCR and cable box, you need:

A splitter, which is a small, inexpensive device that you can purchase at your local electronics store.

Four coaxial cables.

Two A/V cables or two S VIDEO cable with audio cables.

To connect the VCR and cable box

1Connect the CATV cable to the single (input) jack of the splitter.

2Use a coaxial cable to connect one of the splitter’s two output jacks to the TV’s VHF/UHF jack.

3Use a coaxial cable to connect the splitter’s other output jack to the cable box’s input jack.

4Use a coaxial cable to connect the cable box’s output jack to the VCR’s RF input jack.

5Use an A/V cable to connect the cable box’s A/V output jacks to the TV’s A/V input jacks.
