DUAL-DECK VCR BACK PANEL

This hookup requires you to use different procedures for watching and recording TV programs than the procedures described in the Operating Section of this manual. It also requires you to change “control” back and forth between your Dual-Deck VCR and your cable converter box. After you have determined what type of connection you will use, you may need to change the VCR’s antenna source. See Tuner Setup menu, pages 17 and 35.

The advantage of this hookup is that it allows you to record a non-scrambled channel only and watch that channel or a selected channel from your cable box at the same time. A disadvantage of this hookup is that it does not allow you to record premium channels that require your cable converter box for descrambling (you can still watch those channels).

1.Place your Dual-Deck VCR next to your TV and plug the VCR power cord into a wall outlet. Discon- nect all antenna and cable connections.

2.Using a coaxial cable, connect one end of this cable to the TV OUT connection on the back of your Dual-Deck VCR, and the other end of the cable to ‘input’ on the back of your cable converter box.

3.A cable is supplied with your Dual-Deck VCR. Attach one end of this cable to the output connec- tion on the back of your cable box. Attach the other end to the CABLE IN connection on the back of your TV.

4.Turn your TV to channel 2, 3 or 4, whichever is used by your cable system.
