TV.

Cable Service Without Cable Box
If your cable wire is connected to your TV without a
converter or descrambler box, unscrew the wire from your TV and attach it to the RF IN (FROM ANT.) jack on the
rear panel of the DVD Recorder+VCR.

input jack on your TV. With this connection, you can receive all midband, superband, and hyperband channels
(all cable channels).

Set the DVD Recorder+VCR to the output channel of
the cable box using the [CH …/†] or the [0-9] keys
on your DVD Recorder+VCR (e.g., CH3).

box.
