NOTE:

The connection of an indoor antenna may not always give acceptable TV reception.

VHF/UHF SEPARATE ANTENNAS

In some areas it will be necessary to use an outdoor antenna.

CABLE WITHOUT CONVERTER/ DESCRAMBLER BOX

Use this connection if your cable system connects directly to your TV/VCR without a converter box. By using this connection you can:

1)Use the TV/VCR remote to select channels.

2)Program one or more unscrambled channels for Automatic Timer Recording.

NOTE: This unit will ONLY record and view the same channel.

CABLE WITH CONVERTER/ DESCRAMBLER BOX OR SATELLITE BOX

If your cable service supplies you with a converter box or if you use a satellite system, you can use the basic connection shown here.

By using this connection you can also record scram- bled channels. However, channel selection must be made with the converter box or satellite box. This means that channels cannot be changed using the TV/VCR Remote Control. Unattended timer record- ing is limited to one channel at a time.

Note to CATV 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 shall be connect- ed to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
