When you use this set of connections, keep your TV
tuned to the channel you have been using (usually
channel 3 or 4) and use the converter box as you
always have for normal TV viewing and for viewing
some other channel while you are recording.
When yau 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.)
Note: The VCR will not be able to record scrambled
channels with this hookup. To record scrambled
channels, use hookup D.
