Cable Converter Box Hookup

Use this hookup if you have a converter box with your cable system and you want to watch and record any cable channel to which you subscribe. Note: You will not be able to watch a second channel while recording a cable channel.

1 Connect the Cable to your Converter Box - Attach the cable that comes out of your wall to the input connec- tion on the back of your cable converter box.

2 Connect the Converter Box to your VCR - Attach the cable supplied with your cable converter box from the output connection on the back of your cable converter box to the ANTENNA IN connection on the back of your VCR.

3 Connect the VCR to your TV - Attach the supplied RF Coaxial Cable from the OUT TO TV connection on the back of the VCR to the VHF IN or CABLE IN connection on the back of your TV.

4 Turn on the Power for your VCR, TV and converter box.

5 Set the Channel on the front display panel of your Dual-Deck VCR to 2, 3 or 4. Call your cable company to find out which of these channels to use.

Note: With this hookup you must always keep your Dual-Deck VCR tuned to the same channel, and use the converter box to change channels (even for Timer Recordings).

6 Set the VCR back panel switch to channel 3 or 4, choosing the one that you did NOT use for your cable system in step 5.

7 Set your TV to the same channel used in step 6 above.
