Hookup 4 - Incompatible Cable Box, Many ‘'Scrambled” Channels
Cable Hookup
Recommended Use:
Use this hookup if your cable company cannot supply a
cable box that is compatible with the VCR’s cable box
control feature, and your cable system “scrambles” all,
or most, channels.
Background
This VCR can record most unscrambled cable channels.
Some cable systems "scramble” specific channels, usually
premium or pay-per-view channels.
If your cable company cannot supply a cable box that is
compatible with the VCR’s cable box control, and it is
necessary to use a cable box because all or most channels
are “scrambled’’, you must use this hookup. It will be
necessary to set the cable box channel manually for each
recording.
If your cable company cannot supply a compatible cable
box, and your cable system only "scrambles” a few
channels, use Hookup 3.
