connect a VCR.

Converter/Decoder Box
Remember to tune the
VCR to the output channel
of the converter box
(usually
or 4).
Most cable companies that require use of a converter/decoder
box only require the box for scrambled premium channels
like HBO or Showtime. All the other cable-TV channels can
usually be viewed without the converter box. Therefore, by
using a signal splitter, you can send the incoming cable-TV
signals directly to the TV and also through the
converter/decoder box and VCR as shown above.
You can easily switch between the signals coming into the
ANT A
connector and the
ANT
connector by pressing the
ANT
(antenna) button on the master remote control.
Antenna B
will appear in the channel number display when you are
seeing the signal from the
ANT
input.
The cable-TV channels that are not scrambled can then be
seen whenever the TV is receiving the
ANT A
signals. The
cable-TV channels that are scrambled can then be seen
through the converter box and then through the VCR
whenever the TV is receiving the
ANT
B
signals. Most VCR’s
will feed the signal through their antenna jacks even when
the VCR is turned off. This allows you to watch scrambled
channels from the converter box without having to turn on
the VCR.
This connection can be useful because it will let you record a
scrambled channel on the VCR at the same time you are
watching an unscrambled channel through the
ANT A
connector on the TV.
Back of VCR
When viewing the VCR picture through the
ANT B
input as shown above, remember to
tune the TV to the output channel of the
VCR (usually 3 or
same channel as
the position of the VCR’s
switch.
Note:
You can also connect the VCR’s
AUDIO
and
VIDEO OUT
jacks to
the TV’s
AUDIO
and
VIDEO IN
jacks as shown on page 66. The
audio/video connections are necessary for stereo playback from the
VCR. To see the signals from the VCR that are going into the TV’s
INPUT
jacks, select TV channel 91 if you connected the VCR to the
INPUT
1
jacks or select channel 92 if you connected the VCR to the
INPUT
jacks.
(Optional S-VHS VCR’s)
To take advantage of the S-VHS
(Super
Video) format, also connect the VCR’s
S-VHS OUT
connector to the
TV’s
S

VIDEO INPUT
1
or 2 connector (the same one to which you
connected the normal audio and video). When you select channel 91 or
92, the TV will automatically select S-VHS video if it is available.
