This DVD/VCR cannot receive scrambled programs since it does not contain a descrambler. In order to receive scrambled
programs, your existing descrambler must be used. Descrambler boxes are available from cable companies. Consult
your local cable company for more information concerning connection to their descrambler equipment. There are many
ways to connect your DVD/VCR to a cable system. Below are six common methods of connection.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the TV/CATV menu option is set to the “CATV” mode.
