Notes about cable boxes:
The connection diagram shown above refl ects a basic setup. Since there are many different cable companies and types of cables boxes, your
cable box may come with a different recommended connection diagram. Normally, ANALOG cable boxes are used so that the cable company
can scramble the signal for premium channel programming (like movie channels). The cable box will descramble the signal if you are a premium
channel subscriber. In some cases, your cable company may not scramble the signal for basic channels and the signal could be passed through the
cable box so that you could receive the signal with the DVD/VCR.
There are also DIGITAL cable boxes that are relatively new and are used with digital cable service. Even with digital cable service, analog signals
are often carried on the same cable.
Using the connection diagram above, you won't be able to watch one program while recording another program. This may be possible with a
more sophisticated setup, using an optional signal splitter and A-B switch. We suggest you contact your cable company for help in recommending
the best setup for your situation.
If you connect your components as described, you must access different Video Input Channels on your TV to see programming. If you don't know
how to access Video Input Channels on your TV, go to page 19 for help. A general explanation, based on the connection shown above, follows:

If you need help fi nding your TV's various Video Input Channels, go to page 19.

remote operates your TV, press TV and INPUT to access the Video Input Channel.
