Connecting your TV

Connecting a cable converter box

This connection allows you to watch basic and premium cable channels. To use the TV features (such as PIP swap, channel y z, channel block, favorite channels, or channel labels ), select ANT-1. To view premium channels, select ANT-2, tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever channel is vacant in your area), and use the converter box to change channels.

You will need:

• two coaxial cables

This connection allows you to watch and record basic and premium cable channels, as well as watch videotapes. Set the TV signal source to Video1 (see “Watching video input” 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. Set the PIP source to “TV” (see page 28).

You will need:

three coaxial cables

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

Note:

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

If you have a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to VCR Audio OUT 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.
