INTRODUCTION

Your RadioShack 181-Channel Remote Control Cable Converter lets you connect a non-cable-ready video product to cable. It is compatible with all cable systems and gives you complete remote control selection of all cable channels (VHF, Mid-Band, Super -Band, and Hyper-Band). The con- verter’s volume control lets you adjust a connected TV’s sound. You can also use the converter’s remote control to turn on or off and fine tune most TVs.

Important Note: This cable converter does not decode “scrambled” premium channels. You can, however, use it with the cable box provided by the cable company so you can receive premium channels and still have remote control of all other channels.

Note to Cable TV System Installer:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to cable entry as practical.

Note: You need two AAA batteries and a 75-ohm coaxial cable to operate your converter. You might also need extra coaxial cable, an A/B switch, a two-way splitter, and (if your TV has only 300-ohm terminals) a 75-to-300 ohm transformer. Read the entire “Connecting the Converter” section of

this Owner’s Manual before you begin to install your converter.
