Hooking Up to a Cable Box
The cable box brings all the advantages of pay cable, but finding a satisfactory hookup
can be challenging. To sort out what to do, we suggest a step-by-step approach to
installation.
Before you begin, take a close look at the back of your TV to see where cables are
currently connected. You may need to reconnect them that way later. As an aid to
memory, use masking tape to label each cable and connection.
Cable Box Position
Position a remote-controllable cable box on the top of the VCR as shown (slanted
position). Be sure not to block any of the VCR's ventilation holes.
