Cable Box - with separate audio and video connections

To use the separate audio and video outputs from a cable TV box, two separate signals must
be connected – audio and video. First connect the video output of the cable box to the combi-
nation 69LGHR&RPSRVLWH ,QSXt on the Digital VCR card. This connection can be made with
the S-Video output of the cable box (if available) or the standard video output. See area #1 in
Diagram 4 below. Connecting the coaxial output on the cable box is not necessary.
To use the S-Video output, use a standard S-Video cable (available separately) to connect the
S-Video output of the cable box to the Digital VCR card's video input.
When using the standard composite video output from a cable box, most devices make this
connection with an RCA jack. This requires the use of the S-Video/Composite video adapter
cable supplied with your Digital VCR. See area #2 in the diagram below. Plug the supplied
adapter into the card. Plug the video output from the cable box into the RCA end of the adapter
cable.
Next, connect the audio signal from the cable box to the Audio Input on the Digital VCR card.
Audio will then be played through your computer's sound card.
