Cable- TV Connections

Your VCR is designed to receive unscrambled cable
channels 1 through 48 plus 98 and 99 without a
"converter box". (These channels are sometimes
designated 2 through 13, A through W, W+ 1through
W+I2, A-2, A-I and A-8.)

The manner in which you interconnect your VCR and
TV with a cable-TV system is dependent primarily on
(a) whether your TV iscable-compatible and (b) whether
any channels on your cable-TV system are scrambled.
Use the Selection Chart at the left to determine which
one of the following four Cable-TV connection diagrams
(A-D) you should use.
Note: If you wish to also record one or more local UHF
channels that your Cable-TV system does not offer, first
follow the appropriate cable-TV connection instructions
described below, then connect your UHF antenna to
your VCR as described in the section titled "'Antenna
Connections".

When you use this set of connections, keep your TV
tuned to the channel you have been using (usually
channel 3 or 4) and use the converter box as you
always have for normal TV viewing and for viewing
some other channel while you are recording.

When you want to view the channel you are
recording, or when you play the VCR, tune the
"'converter box" to the same channel that you have
set the channel switch on the back of the VCR, either
channel 3 or 4. (This is called the "VCR channel"
throughout the operating instructions in this manual.)
