Connecting Cable TV and VCR

You can connect different cable systems to your TV, including cable without a cable box, and cable with a cable box that descrambles some or all channels.

Cable without a Cable Box

If you want to connect cable, and you do not need to use a cable box:

Plug the incoming cable

1 into the ANT-A antenna ter- minal on the back of the TV.

Cable with a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels

Find the cable that is con-

1 nected to the ANTENNA OUT terminal on your cable box. This terminal might be labeled “ANT OUT,” “VHF OUT,” or sim- ply, “OUT.”

Connect the other end of

2 this cable to the ANT A antenna terminal on the back of the TV.

Connecting a Cable Converter Box

This connection allows you to watch cable and premium channels. You should keep your TV selected to ANT-A so that you can use the TV features. When viewing premium channels, select ANT-B and tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever channel is vacant in your area), then use the converter box to change channels. You will need two coaxial cables.

Note: When you use a converter box with your TV, there may be features that you can not program using the remote control, such as programming your favorite channels and blocking channels.

Connecting a Cable Converter Box and a VCR

This connection allows you to watch and record basic and premium cable channels, as well as watch videotapes. You should keep your TV selected to ANT-A so that you can use the TV’s fea- tures. When viewing premium channels or recording with the VCR, select ANT-B (whichever chan- nel is vacant in your area), then use the converter box to change channels.

Caution: If you want to record one channel while watching another channel, a splitter (not included) must be added between the cable and ANT-A. One output of the splitter goes to ANT-A and the second output is connected to IN on the cable converter box.

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

If you have a S-VHS VCR, use the S-video connections and remove the video cable. Do not connect the video cable and the S-video cable to video1 simultaneously.

When you use a converter box with your TV there may be features that you can not program using the remote control, such as programming your favorite channels and blocking channels.
