Cable Connection

Cable-VCR-TV (For CATV/PAY Channels Recording/Playback)

The VCR has an extended range, and can tune the Low-Band, Mid-Band, Super-Band, Hyper- Band, Ultra-Band, and Special cable channels (Channels A-5–A-1, A–W, AA–FFF, GGG– WWW, WWWr1–WWWr12, 100–125, 5A). Also, the VCR can tune to any of the 56 UHF channels (14–69). Refer to Storing TV Broadcasts in your VCR on page 14.

BASIC Hook-Up

Since the VCR can tune Mid and Super Bands, this connection will provide the reception of all cable channels except those which are intentionally scrambled.

75 ohm Coaxial Cable

However, if you subscribe to a special channel which is scrambled you will probably have a descrambler box for proper reception. The VCR by itself cannot properly receive a scrambled program since it does not contain a descrambler. In order for the VCR to properly receive a scrambled program, your existing descrambler must be used. There are two commonly used methods of connection in this case.

Typical Cable System Hook Ups with Cable Converter/Descrambler Boxes

The cable hook-up shown at the bottom left allows VCR-TV functions except for viewing one channel while recording another.

Input on the TV set

The above cable hook-up allows VCR functions, including viewing one channel while recording another, but it requires two cable TV Converter/Descrambler Boxes, one Switch Box and one 2-Way Splitter.

Since the VCR has an extended range of tuning, tuning-programing of non-scrambled Mid-Band and Super-Band TV programs is possible. When a cable converter or descrambler box is connected to the VCR, all timer-controlled recording functions will continue to operate with the exception of charging channels automatically. CATV Channel selection will have to be performed

recording from CATV Channels is therefore limited to one channel at any given time.
