Recording of nonscrambled channels | Toshiba D-VR4XSU guide

Cable TV connections

IMPORTANT: Make sure the TV/CABLE menu option is set to the “CABLE” mode.

This DVD/VCR cannot receive scrambled programs since it does not contain a descrambler. In order to receive scrambled programs, your existing descrambler must be used. Descrambler boxes are available from cable companies. Consult your local cable company for more information concerning connection to their descrambler equipment. There are many ways to connect your DVD/VCR to a cable system. Below are six common methods of connection.
