For best results, use this connection if:
❑
Your cable company scrambles some channels, such as premium
channels (which requires you to use a cable box), but does not scramble
all channels.
❑
You do not have a VCR. (If you have a VCR, see pages 37 and 38.)
With this connection you can:
❑
Use the TV’s remote control to change channels coming through the
cable box to the Media Receiver Unit’s cable input. (You must first
program the remote control for your specific cable box; see
“Programming the Remote Control” on page 64.)
❑
Use the TV’s remote control to change channels coming directly into
the Media Receiver Unit’s VHF/UHF input jack.
