Connecting Other Pieces of Equipment

If your cable system only requires you to use a converter box for some channels (i. e. pay-TV channels), follow these steps: Find the primary incoming coaxial cable. Plug this cable into a splitter (available at your local electronics store). Connect one coaxial cable between one OUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the converter box. Connect another coaxial cable between the other OUT terminal on the splitter and the A-IN terminal on an A/B switch (available at your local electronics store.) Connect a third coaxial cable between the OUT terminal on the converter box and the B-IN terminal on the A/B switch. Finally, connect a coaxial cable between the OUT terminal on the A/B switch and the antenna terminal on the back of your TV/VCR.

When the A/B switch is in the A position, you can change channels on the TV/VCR; when the A/B switch is in the B position, you, need to change channels on the converter box (and your TV should be tuned to channel 3 or 4)

You may want to connect a VCR, laser disc player, satellite receiver, or another type of equip- ment to your TV/VCR. We recommend that you follow the instructions included with the piece of equipment you wish to connect.

If you connect other pieces of equipment to your TV/VCR using the audio/video jacks on the front panel, you will need to use the TV/LINE button on the remote control to view the signal coming through these jacks. See page 41 for more information.

Safety Notes

If you plan on being away from your home for an extended period of time, or if a thunder- storm is approaching, you should unplug your television, and you may wish to disconnect your TV from a rooftop or satellite antenna. You do not need to disconnect your TV from a cable system.
