If you don't have a direct video connection - the one using the audio/video
cable - make sure the TV channel is set to 3 or 4 when you play back a tape.
Consult the cable company or the cable converter manual for assistance in
using the VCR with a cable converter. You will probably need to set the VCR
to channel 3 or 4 and then use the cable converter to switch stations. There
may be additional procedures for picking up pay-for-view or scrambled
channels, which the cable company will gladly help you with.
Option 1 - All Channels Scrambled
1. Remove the cable company's cable line from the back of 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 your 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.
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 cable 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.
