ALTERNATIVE CABLE TV CONNECTIONS

Your VCR can receive all unscrambled cable channels without the use of an external converter. If you wish to view and record scrambled cable channels, you must connect a converter/decoder as described below.

Your local cable TV company will advise you of the channels available in your area.

We recommend that you consult your cable TV company to make sure that the cable is properly connected.

When the TV does not have a built-in cable converter

Connect the cable TV converter between the VCR and the TV so that you can watch a cable TV program while recording another program.

NOTE: Set the TV channel to the cable converter output channel (CH02 ~ 07).

specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practicable.
