Hookup 5
Recommended Use:
By using the A/B switch, this hookup allows you to record
most channels directly from the VCR (position "A"). You
only use position "B" and the cable box if you want to
record a "scrambled" channel. This gives you the most
convenient operation of the VCR.
Background
This VCR can record virtually any unscrambied cable
channel. Some cable systems "scramble" specific
channels, usually premium or pay-per-view channels.
This hookup wil! allow you to record unscrambled
channels by selecting "A" on the A/B switch, and tuning
the channel directly on your VCR. To record "scrambled
channels, select "B" on the A/B switch, and select the
channel using the cable box. If your cable system
scrambles all or most channels, you must use the
alternate cable hookup (Hookup 4) on page 18.
@ Only one cable is supplied with your VCR.
Prepare additional cables for connection.
