Most cable companies that require use of a converter/decoder b_x only require the box for scrambled premium channels like HBO or Showtime. All the other eable-TV channels can usually be viewed without the converter box. Therefore, by using a signal splitter, you can s,md the incoming cable-TV signals directly to the TV and also thru the converter/decoder box and VCR as shown above.

You can easily switch between the signals coming into the ANTA jack and the ANTB jack by pressing the ANTENNA button on the remote control. The channel numbers will change color to let you kno_ which antenna signal you are watching. When the numbers are bltue, you are seeing the ANTA signals. When the numbers are yellow, you are seeing the ANTB signals.

The cable-TVchannels that are not scrambled can then be seen

whenever the TV is receiving the ANTA signals. The cable-TVchannels that are scrambled can then be seen thru the converter box

and then thru the VCR whenever the TV is receiving the ANTB Sigmds. Most VCRs will feed the signal thru their antenna jacks even when the VCR is turned off. This allows you to watch scrambled channels from the converter box without having to turn

on _te VCR.

This connection can be useful because it will let you record a scrambled channel on the VCR at the same time you are watching a non-scrambled channel thru the ANTA jack on the TV.

For picture-in-picture viewing, be sure to also connect the audio and video cables from the VCR to the TV as shown on pages 35-36.

The VCR must be turned on and tuned to the output channel of the cable box (usually 2, 3, or 4) for picture-in-picture viewing:

*Optional accessories are available from most RCA dealers and electronics supply stores.

Note: If you have a stereo VCR, be sure to also connect the

A UDIO and VIDEO OUT jacks on the VCR to the AUDIO and VIDEO IN jacks on the TV as shown on page 35. These additional audio/video connections are required for picture-in-picture operation and for Stereo playback from the VC1L To see the signals from the VCR that are going into the INPUT jacks, select TV channel 91 if you connected the VCR to the INPUT 1 jacks or select channel 92 if you connected the VCR to the INPUT 2 jacks.

Select TV channel 90 if you have an S-VHS VCR connected to the TV's S-VIDEOconnector.
