Connecting A Cable Converter Box And A Vcr; Connecting A Satellite Receiver And A Vcr - Toshiba 32A43 Owner's Manual

Connecting a cable converter box and a VCR

With this connection you can:
• watch videotapes
• watch and record basic and premium
cable channels
• record one channel while
watching the same or another
non-premium channel
Tune the VCR to channel
3 or 4 (whichever channel is vacant
in your area), place the TV in
VIDEO 1 mode, and then use the
converter box to change channels.
You will need:
• one cable signal splitter
• four coaxial cables
• one set of standard A/V cables (If your
VCR has S-video, you can use an S-video
cable instead of the standard video cable. See
"Note Regarding Picture Quality" on page 7.)
Note:
If you have a mono VCR, connect TV L/Mono Audio IN
to VCR Audio OUT using only one audio cable.
When you use a cable converter box with your TV, you
may not be able to use the remote control to program
certain features (for example, blocking channels).
