VCR TO CABLE SYSTEM CONNECTION

Many cable companies offer services permitting reception of extra channels including pay or subscription channels. This VCR has an extended tuning range and can be tuned to most cable channels without using a cable company supplied converter box, except for those channels which are intentionally scrambled.

If you subscribe to a special channel which is scrambled, you must have a descrambler box for proper reception. This VCR cannot receive scrambled programs since it does not contain a descrambler.

In order to receive scrambled programs your existing descrambler must be used.

Descrambler boxes are available from cable companies. Consult your local cable company for more information concerning connection to their descrambler equipment.

There are many ways to connect the VCR to a cable system. Below are six common methods of connection.
