Hookup 4
Alternate Cable Hookup
Recommended Use:
This hookup will allow you to record either scrambled or
unscrambled channels; however, you will have to set the
channel on the cable box for each program you want to
record. If your cable system scrambles all or most
channels, you must use this hookup. If your cable
system only scrambles a few channels, you may prefer
Hookup 3 or 5 (on pages 16 and 20, respectively).
Please note that Hookup 3 will not allow you to record
scrambled channels.
Hookup 5 will allow you to record either scrambled or
unscrambled channels, but will require that you purchase
a few extra parts at your local electronics store.
Background
This VCR can record virtually any unscrambled cable
channel. Some cable systems "scramble" specific
channels, usually premium or pay-per-view channels.
Although this hookup will also allow you to record these
scrambled channels, you must use the cable box rather
than the VCR to select channels.
