Cable Tv Connections - RCA T09085B User Manual

CABLE TV CONNECTIONS
This TVNCR has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV
Converter box. Some cable companies offer "premium pay channels" in which the signal is scrambled.
Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is gener-
ally provided by the cable company.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO SCRAMBLED CABLE TV SERVICE
If you subscribe to a cable TV service which requires the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the incoming

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO UNSCRAMBLED BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE WITH
SCRAMBLED PREMIUM CHANNELS
If you subscribe to a cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the
use of a Converter/Descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal Splitter and an A/B Switch box (available from the
Cable company or an electronics supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the "B"
position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV/VCR. With the switch in the "A" position, tune
your TV/VCR to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/
Descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.
