Connecting a cable converter box and VCR

This connection allows you to watch and record basic and premium cable channels, watch videotapes, and record one channel while watching another channel. To watch basic cable and use the TVÕs features, select ANT-1.

To view premium channels or record with the VCR, select ANT-2, tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever channel is vacant in your area), and use the converter box to change channels.

You will need:

¥four coaxial cables

¥one set of standard A/V cables

From Cable

TV

Note:

If you have a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to VCR Audio OUT using only one audio cable.

If you have a VCR with S-video, use an S- video cable (in the S-video jacks) instead of a standard video cable. Do not connect a standard video cable and an S-video cable to Video-1 (or Video-2) at the same time, or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

When you use a converter box with your TV, the remote control will not operate some features, such as programming your favorite channels, labeling channels, and locking channels.

The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or revision of television programs, videotapes, DVDs, and other materials is prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States and other countries, and may subject you to civil and criminal liability.
