VCR and Cable Box | Use this hookup if: |
| ❑ Your cable TV company scrambles some channels, but not all of them |
| (pay channels vs. regular cable channels) and you need to use a cable |
| box. |
With this connection you can:
❑Use the TV’s remote control to change channels on your cable box when the signal is scrambled. To program your Sony remote control to operate your cable box, see “Programming the Remote Control” on page 35.
❑Use the TV’s remote control to change channels on your TV when the signal is not scrambled. Your TV’s tuner provides a better picture quality than the output of your cable box.
Disconnect all power sources before making any connections.
