Connecting a cable converter box
This connection allows you to watch basic and premium cable
channels. Tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever channel is vacant
in your area), and use the converter box to change channels.
You will need:
• two coaxial cables (one or more may be supplied by cable
company)
Note:
When you use a converter box with your TV,
the remote control may not operate certain
features, such as PIP swap, channel
y z,
channel block, favorite channels, or channel
labels.
Note:
To prevent the TV’s volume setting
from affecting the recorded sound
level, set AUDIO OUT to FIXED during
recording (see “Selecting variable
audio out” on page 35).
When you use a converter box with your TV,
the remote control may not operate certain
features, such as PIP swap, channel
y z,
channel block, favorite channels, or channel
labels.*
If you have a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to
VCR Audio OUT using only one audio cable.
If you have an S-VHS VCR, use an S-video
cable instead of a standard video cable.
Do not connect a standard video cable and an
S-video cable to VIDEO 1 (or VIDEO 2) at the
same time, or the picture performance will be
unacceptable.
Connecting a cable converter box and VCR

channel as the converter box output switch), and use the cable
converter box to change channels. Set the PIP source to “TV” (see
page 28).
You will need:
• three coaxial cables (one or more may be supplied by cable
company)
• one pair of audio cables (one single audio cable for a mono VCR)
• one video cable (see “Note Regarding Picture Quality” on page 7)
