Notes about cable boxes:
If you have questions about using a cable box with the DVD Recorder,consult your cable company.RCA can only provide general instructions because cable service
and cable boxes differ in various areas.This connection only shows a basic RF Coaxial Cable connection,your cable box may have Audio Video or S-Video jacks.
You must view premium cable channels through the DVD Recorder if you use this connection because the only channels being sent to the TV via the 2 Way Splitter are
standard cable channels.
If you have a digital cable box,you can’t split the cable signal as shown without purchasing special equipment—the 2 Way Splitter packed with the DVD Recorder is
only for regular,analog cable boxes.
