Cable Connections
A) Without a Converter / Descrambler Box
Use this connection if your cable system connects directly to your TV/VCR
Combination without a converter box.
With this connection, you can:
1) use your TV/VCR Combination remote control to select channels.
2) program one or more unscrambled channels for timer recording.
NOTE:
You can use the TV/VCR Combination Channel Up/ Down keys to select
the desired channel.
You cannot record or view scrambled channels with this connection.
Note to CATV System Installer
This reminder is provided to call the CATV (Cable TV) System Installers
attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper
grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of
cable entry as practical.
B) With a Converter/ Descrambler Box
If your cable service supplies you with a converter box, you can use the
basic connection shown here.
With this connection, you can record and view any channel including
scrambled channels. However, channel selection must be made at the
cable company converter box. This means that channels cannot be
changed using the TV/VCR Combination remote control. Timer recording
is limited to one channel at a time, and you cannot view another channel
other than the one you are recording.
To Record and View a Scrambled / Unscrambled Channel
1. Set the TV/VCR Combination channel selector to the output channel of
the cable converter box (e.g. CH3).
2. Select the channel to be recorded at the cable converter box.
Note: Refer to page 11 for instructions on setting tuner to the cable TV mode.
