This connection will allow you to watch one non-scrambled
channel while you record another non-scrambled channel.
With this connection, you should set the A/B switch to A to
record a non-scrambled channel. You may watch the same
channel or any other non-scrambled channel at the same
time.
To record a scrambled channel, set the switch to B, select
your cable output channel (usually 3 or 4) on the VCR and
select the channel you wish to record on the cable box. At
this time your TV will not be able to show any other channel.
IMPORTANT
With this connection, you cannot:
• record a scrambled channel and watch a non-
scrambled channel at the same time.
• record a non-scrambled channel and watch a
scrambled channel at the same time.
• record one scrambled channel and watch a different
scrambled channel.
