CATV (CABLE TV) Connections
Many cable companies offer services permitting reception of
extra channels including pay or subscription channels. This
DVD/VCR has an extended tuning range and can be tuned to
most cable channels without using a cable company supplied
converter box, except for those channels which are intentionally
scrambled. If you subscribe to a special channel which is
scrambled, you must have a descrambler box for proper reception.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the TV/CATV menu option is set to the “CATV” mode.
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.
