Operating Instructions
Connecting a TV, VCR, and Cable Box
Use this connection if you subscribe to a cable system that scrambles some channels (pay channels), but not all of them. This setup allows you to use the remote control to:
❏change channels through your cable box or VCR when you are receiving a scrambled signal
❏change channels through your TV
This connection also allows you to use the PIP feature when you are viewing unscrambled channels coming directly into your TV from your cable. Scrambled signals coming through the cable box cannot be viewed in PIP. For more information on the PIP feature, see page 20.
