J) Follow this diagram if your cable company requires a converter/decoder box for premium channels and you also want to

connect a VCR.

Most cable companies that require use of a converter/decoder box

only require the box for scrambled premium channels like HBO or

Showtime. All the other cable-TV channels can usually be viewed

without the converter box. Therefore, by using a signal splitter, you

can send the incoming cable-TV signals directly to the TV and also

thru the converter/decoder box and VCR as shown above.

You can easily switch between the signals coming into the

ANT A

jack and the AVTB jack by pressing the

ANT

button on the remote

control. The channel numbers will change color to let you know

which antenna signal you are watching. When the numbers are

blue, you are seeing the

NTA

signals. When the numbers are

yellow, you are seeing the

ANT B

signals.

The cable-TV channels that are not scrambled can then be seen

whenever the TV is receiving the AVT

signals. The cable-TV

channels that are scrambled can then be seen thru the converter box

and then thru the VCR whenever the TV is receiving the

ANT B

signals. Most VCR’s will feed the signal thru their antenna jacks

even when the VCR is turned off. This allows you to watch

scrambled channels from the converter box without having to turn

on the VCR.

This connection can be useful because it will let you record a

scrambled channel on the VCR at the same time you are watching a

non-scrambled channel thru the

ANT A

jack on the TV.

For picture-in-picture viewing, be sure to also connect the audio and

video cables from the VCR to the TV as shown on pages 37-38.

The VCR must be turned on and tuned to the output channel of the

cable box (usually 2, 3, or 4) for picture-in-picture viewing.

Note: If you have a stereo VCR, be sure to also connect the

AUDIO

and

VIDEO OUT

jacks on the VCR to

the AUDIO

and

VIDEO

/V jacks on the TV as shown on page 37. These additional

audio/video connections are required for picture-in-picture
operation and for stereo playback from the VCR. To see the
signals from the VCR that are going into the

INPUT

jacks, select

TV channel 91 if you connected the VCR to the

INPUT 1

jacks or

select channel 92 if you connected the VCR to the

INPUT 2

jacks.

Select TV channel 90 if you have an S-VHS VCR connected to the
TV’s

S-VIDEO

connector.
