Cable-TV Connections

A.
Your VCR is designed to receive unscrambled cable
channels 2 through 48 plus 98 and 99 without a "con-
verter box." (These channels are sometimes designated 2
through 13, A through W, W+I through W+12, and A-2
and A-1.) There are several ways to hook up your VCR
and TV, depending on the type of TV you have, the cable
channels you receive, and whether or not some of the
cable channels must be "unscrambled." One of the five
methods shown on this page and the next will likely fit
your requirements. You may want to change from one
hookup to another, depending on what you want to do
with your VCR.

When you use this set of connections, keep your TV
tuned to the channel you have been using (usually chan-
nel 3 or 4) and use the converter box as you always have
for normal TV viewing and for viewing some other chan-
nel while you are recording.

When you want to view the channel you are recording, or
when you play the VCR, tune the "converter box" to the
same channel that you have set the channel switch on the
back of the VCR, either channel 3 or 4 (This is called the
"VCR channel" throughout the operating instructions in
this manual.)
