Check all the TV and VCR functions. If you don't get all the functions you want,
proceed with Option 2.
Option 2--All Channels Unscrambled
1. Remove the cable company's line from the back of the cable box that goes to
your TV. Connect it to the IN FROM ANT lower jack on the back of the VCR.
2. Using the 75 ohm coaxial cable supplied with the VCR, connect either end to
the VCR's OUT TO TV upper jack.
3. Connect the other end of the 75 ohm cable to the TV, in the same place where
you removed the cable line.
Note: You will end up with an extra cable that originally went from the cable box
to the TV.
Check all the TV and VCR functions. If you don't get all the functions you want,
proceed with Option 3.
Option 3--Some Channels Scrambled
This hookup requires three coaxial jumpers with connectors, a 1-into-2 splitter,
and an A-or-B switch box.
1. Disconnect the cable from the cable box and attach it to the input line of the 1-
into-2 splitter.
2. Using a coaxial jumper, reconnect one of the splitter outputs to the cable box's
input that you just freed up.
3. Using a second coaxial jumper, connect the other splitter output to the A of the
a-or-B switch.
4. Using the cable box output line, connect the cable box receptacle to the B of
the A-or-B switch.
5. Using a third coaxial jumper, connect the output of the A-or-B switch to the
input of the VCR.
