Hookup 2
Cable box with many
scrambled channels
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 virtually any unscrambled cable channel. Some
cable systems scramble specific channels, usually premium or pay-per-
view channels. Although this hookup lets you record these scrambled
channels, you must use the cable box rather than the VCR to select
channels.
