Cable and VCR/DVR

If you have standard cable service or have a CableCARD installed and you have a VCR or personal DVR, you can connect them as shown in the following illustration. You can also use this connection if you have a DVR with built-in cable box capabilities.

NOTE:

If your device has different connectors from those shown, use the highest quality video connection available. Observe the color coding on connectors.

If all cable channels are scrambled and you have no CableCARD installed, connect the incoming cable directly to the DVR cable box (omit the splitter and omit the connection to the TV cable input).
