This TV/VCR has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV
converter box. Some cable companies offer “premium pay channels” in which the signal is scrambled.
Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is gener-
ally provided by the cable company.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE

For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box,
connect the CATV 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the Antenna Jack
on the back of the TV/VCR.

CABLE TV CONNECTIONS

If you subscribe to a cable TV service which requires the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the incoming
75 ohm Coaxial Cable to the Converter/Descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm Coaxial Cable, connect the output jack
of the Converter/Descrambler box to the Antenna Jack on the TV/VCR. Follow the connections shown below. Set the
TV/VCR to the output channel of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/
Descrambler box to select channels.

75 ohm
Coaxial Cable

If you subscribe to a cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the
use of a Converter/Descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal splitter and an A/B Switch box (available from the
Cable company or an electronics supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the “B”
position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV/VCR. With the switch in the “A” position, tune
your TV/VCR to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/
Descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.
