Using Rf Bypass - Pace TDC575D Operator's Manual

Using RF bypass

You use RF Bypass to watch the regular (analog) channels that are included in the cable service. RF
Bypass makes these channels "bypass" your set-top and pass directly to the TV and/or VCR.
To use RF Bypass:
• Your set-top must be installed with the correct connections from the rear panel to the TV or
VCR (see the note, right), and must be turned on;
• The RF Bypass feature must be switched to "On" in the Setup menu (see page 19).
Each time you want to use RF Bypass, you then press the BYPASS button on your remote control.
The BYPASS LED lights up on the front panel of your set-top.
When you have finished using RF Bypass, press the BYPASS button again.
When RF Bypass is on: you can use the TV's remote control to tune to any of the available regular
(analog) channels and watch that channel on your TV. This may be a different channel from the
channel that your set-top is tuned to. You can record on your VCR the channel that your set-top is
tuned to. This means that, when the bypass is on, you can watch a regular (analog) channel on your
TV and, at the same time, record a different channel on your VCR.
When RF Bypass is off: the channel that you see on your TV is the channel that your set-top is tuned
to. This is the same channel that your VCR receives. So, when RF Bypass is off, you can record only
the channel that you are watching on your TV.
OPERATING YOUR SET-TOP (cont.)
NOTES
If you are not sure whether your
set-top has been set up to allow
RF Bypass, check your installation.
If there is a cable (RF cable) going
from the TO TV connector on
your set-top's rear panel to your
TV (or to your VCR and TV, as
shown by the dashed line on page
12) then RF Bypass is correctly
set up.
