(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

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.
