Advanced Cable Converter Box Hookup

This hookup is fairly complicated and is intended for ad- vanced 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR users. The advantage of this hookup is that it allows you to record a non-scrambled channel and watch that channel or a selected channel from your cable box at the same time. A disadvantage of this hookup is that it does not allow you to record premium channels that require your cable converter box for descrambling (you can still watch those channels).

This hookup is challenging because it requires you to use different procedures for watching and recording TV pro- grams than the procedures described in the 8mm/VHS Dual- Deck VCR User’s Guide. It also requires you to change ‘control’ back and forth between your Dual-Deck VCR and your cable converter box.
