 Hooking Up to a Cable Box
The cable box brings all the advantages of pay cable, but finding a satisfactory hookup can be
challenging. To sort out what to do, we suggest a step-by-step approach to installation.
Before you begin, take a close look at the back of your TV to see where cables are currently
connected. You may need to reconnect them that way later. As an aid to memory, use
masking tape to label each cable and connection.
Cable Box Position
Position a remote-controllable cable box on top of the VCR as shown (slanted position). Be
sure not to block any of the VCR's ventilation holes.
A. Basic Hookup
Use this hookup for a simple connection which requires fewer accessories.
1. Push the ANT. OUT button to display RF-3 or RF-4 (See page 14).
You will tune the TV to this channel and use the VCR/TV button to watch the VCR.
2. Connect as shown.
This connection may require additional accessories which are not provided.
3. Plug in power cords of VCR, TV, and cable box.
Check all the TV and VCR functions.
