the cable box to the channel
you wish to record.
You should leave the A/B switch set to "A" for all other
situations.
If you have questions
concering
your cable system,

your cable company.

watch
a non-scrambled

Connectingotherantennas
If you don't have cable TV, you'll need to connect
a regular
an-
tenna.
Your antenna
may have one of two different
kind of ends
(called "leads") on it.
The
two kinds
of leads
are:
300-ohm flat twin leads
that look like this ... :
... or a 75-ohm round lead
that looks likethis:
Follow the procedures
for connecting
the kind of leads your
antenna
has, then go to page 14, "Connecting
the Television."
connecting an antennawitha 300-ohm flat twin lead
(If you have a 300-ohm
flat twin lead, you will need to purchase
a
300-75 ohm adapter
at your local hardware
or electronics
store.)
Disconnect
the antenna
from the back of the TV.
Before you can attach
the antenna
leads to the adapter,
you
need to expose a 5/8 inch segment
of each lead by scraping
off
the plastic
covering.
Sometimes
these
leads have "U" shaped
clips that
fit around
the screw, in which case you will not
need to peel back the plastic.
