without a converter box.

Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article
820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding
system of the building as close to the poing of cable entry as practical.
CABLE WITH CONVERTER/DESCRAMBLER BOX
If your cable service supplies you with a converter box you can use the basic
connection shown here.
With this connection you can record and view any channel including
scrambled channels. However, channel selection must be made with the
converter box. This means that channels cannot be changed using the
TV/VCR Remote Control. Unattended recording is limited to one channel at a
time.
TO RECORD AND VIEW A SCRAMBLED/UNSCRAMBLED CHANNEL
1. Set the TV/VCR channel selector to the output channel of the Cable
Converter Box. (Ex. CH3)
2. Select the channel to be recorded or viewed on the Cable Converter Box.
NOTE:
When using a cable converter box, you can not record one channel and
view another.
