Connecting a cable converter box and VCR

This connection allows you to watch and record basic and premium cable channels, as well as watch videotapes. Set the TV signal source to VIDEO 1 (see “Selecting the signal source” on page 17); tune the VCR to channel 3 or 4 (the same channel as the converter box output switch); and use the cable converter box to change channels.

You will need:

one coaxial cable

one pair of audio cables (one single audio cable for a mono VCR)

one video cable (see “Note Regarding Picture Quality” on page 7)

Note:

When you use a converter box with your TV, the remote control may not operate certain features, such as channel y z, channel block, favorite channels, or channel labels.

If you have a mono VCR, connect L/Mono on the TV to Audio OUT on the VCR using only one audio cable.

If you have an S-VHS VCR, use an S-video cable instead of a regular video cable. Do not connect a regular video cable and an S-video cable to Video-1 (or Video-2) at the same time. Doing so will cause unacceptable picture performance.

The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or revision of television programs, videotapes, DVDs, and other materials is prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States and other countries, and may subject you to civil and criminal liability.
