Hooking Up Your VCR

4Connect the second coaxial cable to the other OUT terminal on the splitter and IN (or CABLE) on the cable box.

5Connect the third coaxial cable to the OUT or TV on the cable box and B-IN on the A/B switch.

6Connect the fourth coaxial cable to OUT terminal on the A/B switch and ANTENNA IN on the VCR.

7Connect the fifth coaxial cable to the ANTENNA OUT on the VCR to the TVÕs ANTENNA jacks (varied by TV).

8If your TV has audio and video inputs, continue with the connections on the next page. If not, plug in power cords of VCR, TV, and cable box.

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.
