INTRODUCTION
Your RadioShack 181-Channel Re-
mote Control Cable Converter lets you
connect a non-cable-ready video
product to cable. It is compatible with
all cable systems and gives you com-
plete remote control selection of all
cable channels (VHF, Mid-Band, Su-
per-Band, and Hyper-Band). The con-
verter’s volume control lets you adjust
a connected TV’s sound. You can also
use the converter’s remote control to
turn on or off and fine tune most TVs.
Important Note:
This cable converter
does not decode “scrambled” premi-
um channels. You can, however, use
it with the cable box provided by the
cable company so you can receive
premium channels and still have re-
mote control of all other channels.
Note to Cable TV System Installer:
This reminder is provided to call the
CATV system installer’s attention to
Article 820-40 of the NEC that pro-
vides guidelines for proper grounding
and, in particular, specifies that the
cable ground be connected to the
grounding system of the building as
close to cable entry as practical.
Note:
You need two AAA batteries
and a 75-ohm coaxial cable to operate
your converter. You might also need
extra coaxial cable, an A/B switch, a
two-way splitter, and (if your TV has
only 300-ohm terminals) a 75-to-300
ohm transformer. Read the entire
“Connecting the Converter” section of
this Owner’s Manual before you begin
to install your converter.
We recommend you record your con-
verter’s serial number here. The num-
ber is on the bottom of the converter.
