Advanced Operations (Cable Box Hookups)
49
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 IN FROM ANT
lowerjack on the back of the VCR.
6. Take the coaxial cable that is still connected to the television and hook it to the VCR's OUT
TO TV upperjack.
This setup lets you switch between the two configurations in Options 1 and 2. Check all the TV
and VCR functions. If you still don't get the functions you want, proceed with Option 4.
Option 4
If none of the preceding hookups work, check with your cable company. You may need to
purchase a video switching system from your local electronics or video retailer. This will easily
handle most hookup problems.
Remote Control of the Cable Converter
If you have a cable converter, you will probably want to program your VCR's remote control so
you can easily change channels. The process is the same as for programming the remote to
operate your TV. For additional details, see page 44.
• Hold down the CATV button and press the number of your brand of cable box (shown in the
chart).
If that button combination does not work, or if your brand is not on the chart, just go through all
the button combinations until you find the one that works best.
