CABLE TV connections
Many cable companies offer services permitting reception of extra channels including pay or subscription channels. This DVD/ VCR has an extended tuning range and can be tuned to most cable channels without using a cable company supplied converter box, except for those channels which are intentionally scrambled. If you subscribe to a special channel which is scrambled, you must have a descrambler box for proper reception.
