INSTALLATION CABLE SYSTEM (cont.) pg. 17
Cable Connection Direct or Using Cable Box
When using figure C3 with a non-scrambled cable system, the VCR Input Selector Switch No. 1 and the 2
Way Splitter No. 2 can be omitted, along with the coax interconnecting the two. Connecting the VCR Input
directly to splitter No. 1, and the cable box Output directly to A/B switch No. 2.
Function of Accessories
2 Way Splitter No. 1: Divides the cable signal so the signal is provided to the VCR and the Cable Box.
A/B Selector Switch No. 1, VCR Recording Input Selector: Used to select the Source for VCR use. In
one position, the cable can be recorded directly. In the other position, the VCR can record the Cable Box.
2 Way Splitter No. 2: Divides the signal from the Cable Box so the VCR can record it, or it can be viewed
on TV.
A/B Selector Switch No. 2, TV Viewing Switch: Used to allow the TV to view the Cable Box while the
VCR is recording Direct cable sources. In the other position, TV can view VCR Recording or Playing.
(VCR/TV switch of video tape recorder must be in VCR mode.)
Operation: After completing connections, set A/B No. 2 to A position. Verify cable channels to TV. In this
position, the TV and Cable Box can be used as previously, except when making unattended recording of
the Cable Box. Then the Cable Box power must remain ON. To view what the VCR is Recording or
playing, set the switch to position B. Tune the TV to the VCR output channel, and set the VCR/TV Switch
to the VCR mode.
Operation of VCR
When the VCR Input Selector Switch A/B No. 1 is in position A, the VCR can record the Cable Box. One
channel position of the VCR should be set to tune the Cable Box. Channel position 01 is recommended.
Set the VCR as in the section for Using Cable Box Only, when using position A. When the A/B No. 1 is in
position B, the VCR operates as indicated in Direct Connection to Cable. Refer to Setting channels for
Cable.
Remember that when making a Timer Recording using the Cable Box, the Cable Box channel must be
programmed into the Timer, the A/B No. 1 switch must be set to A, and Cable Box power must be left ON.
When recording the Cable directly, be sure to set the switch to position B. The VCR cannot select betwee
the Cable Box and Direct Cable inputs, so unattended recordings of both sources alternately should not
be programmed unless someone is available to change the setting of switch A/B No. 1 during Timer
operation.
