Connecting a VCR and Cable Box

NOTE: A cable box with AUDIO OUT jacks such as the one used in the example on this page might pass stereo sound to the TV. Check with your cable TV company. The RF jack out- put jack on a cable box (commonly labeled “OUT TO TV,” “OUTPUT,” or “OUT”) will not pass stereo sound to your TV.

1 Connect the incoming cable TV signal to a two-way signal splitter. The signal splitter enables you to route the cable signal to the TV without using the OUT TO TV jack on the cable box, which will not pass stereo sound to the TV.

2 Using a coaxial cable, connect to one of the connectors on the signal splitter

NOTE: Since you’ve connected the cable TV signal directly to the TV’s tuner (step 2 above), you can watch the unscrambled programs by sim- ply tuning to the desired channel. To store channels in the TV’s memory, you must use Autoprogram, which you can access through “Install” in the TV’s on-screen menu. See the Autoprogram section in the Quick Use and Setup Guide that came with the TV. If you use Autoprogram, you can select channels by pressing the CH + or – buttons on the TV remote control (in TV mode). Otherwise, you must press the digit (number) buttons to tune directly to the channel you desire.
