HOOKING UP YOUR DUAL-DECK VCR 85
▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲
Cable Converter Box Hookup
Use this hookup if you have a converter box with your cable
system. You will be able to record any cable channel which
you subscribe to, and watch that channel. With this hookup,
you must always keep your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR
tuned to the same channel (2, 3, or 4; see p.54 in this Guide).
You will change channels on the cable converter box. You
will also select the channel for a timer recording on the
cable converter box.
1. Place your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR next to your TV
and plug the VCR power cord into a wall outlet. Discon-
nect all antenna and cable connections.
2. A cable is supplied with your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR.
Connect the round end of this cable to the OUT TO TV
connection on the back of your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck
VCR. Connect the other end of the cable to the VHF IN
or CABLE IN connection on the back of your TV.

in red. It should be under ‘CH’. If
it’s not there, press the TV/VCR
