to
obtain
high resolution

high picture quality
when
high

The conventional
VCR
video connectors
output
and
input
signals which are
composed
of the luminance signal (Y)
and color signal (C) which are then recorded on
the video
tape.
The new S
(Separate)-Video Connector allows
separate transmission of signals
in
order
to obtain clearer
pictures.
The connection
with the
S-Video Cable can
also be used for
playback of a tape that
was
recorded
in
the conventional
VHS
system. The "S"

"S-Video Connector" stands
for
"SEPARATED

Cable Connection
Cable-VCR-TV
(For CATV/
PAY
Channels
Recording/Playback)
The VCR
has an extended range, and can
tune the
Low-
Band, Mid-Band, Super-Band, Hyper-Band,
Ultra-Band and
Special cable channels. {Channels A-W, AA-FFF,
A-5-A-1,
GGG-WWW+12,
100-125,
5A). Also, the
VCR
can
tune to
any
of the
56
UHF
channels
(14-69). Refer to Storing
TV
Channels on
your
VCR
on page
10.
BASIC Hook-Up
75 ohm
coaxial cable
Channels 2-13
and 5A, A-5-A-1, A-W, AA-FFF,
GGG-WWW+12, 100-125
However,
if
you subscribe
to
a
special
channel which
is
scrambled
—
you
will
probably have a descrambler box
for
proper
reception.
The
VCR
by itself cannot properly receive
a scrambled program since
it
does
not contain
a
descrambler.
In order for the
VCR
to properly receive a
scrambled program, your
existing
descrambler must be
used. There
are
two commonly used methods
of
connection
in this case.

The above
cable
hook-up
allows
VCR
functions, including
viewing one channel while recording another, but
it
requires
two cable
TV
Converter Boxes, one Switch Box and one
2-Way
Splitter.

Since
the
VCR
has an extended range
of tuning,
tuning-programming
of
non-scrambled Mid-Band and
Super-Band TV
programs
is
possible.
When
a cable
converter or descrambler box
is
connected
to the
VCR,
all
timer-controlled recording functions
will
continue
to
operate
with the
exception
of
changing
channels
automatically.
CATV
Channel
selection will
have
to
be performed
with the cable converter.
Timer-controlled recording from
CATV
Channels
is
therefore limited to one channel
at
any given
time.
The above cable hook-up
allows
VCR-TV
functions except
for viewing one channel while recording another.
