The manner in which you interconnect
your VCR and
TV with a cable-TV system is dependent
primarily
on
(a) whether your TV is cable-compatible
and (b) whether
any channels
on your cable-TV
system are scrambled.
Use the Selection Chart at the right to determine
which
one of the following four Cable-TV connection diagrams
(A-D) you should use.

Note: If you wish to also record one or more local UHF
channels that your Cable-TV system does not offer, first
follow the appropriate
cable-TV connection
instructions
described
below, then connect
your UHF antenna
to
your VCR as described
in the section titled "'Antenna
Connections".
Note: Set the NORM/CA
TV Switch on the back of your
VCR to CA TV if you connect a cable-TV system to your
VCR.

When
you
want
to view
the
channel
you
are
recording,
or when
you play
the VCR, tune
the
"converter
box" to the same channel that you have
set the channel switch on the back of the VCR, either
channel
3 or 4. (This is called the "VCR channel"
throughout
the operating instructions
in this manual.)
Note: The VCR will not be able to record scrambled
channels
with this hookup.
To record
scrambled
channels,
use hookup D.
When
you use this set of connections,
keep your TV
tuned
to the channel
you have
been
using
(usually
channel
3 or 4) and
use the converter
box
as you
always
have for normal
TV viewing
and
for viewing
some other
channel
while you are recording.
