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 premium channels which are intentionally scrambled. If you subscribe to a
premium channel which is scrambled, you must have a descrambler box for proper reception.
Allows:
* Recording of nonscrambled channels.
* Use of the programmable timer.
* Recording of one channel while watching another.
Allows:
* Recording of channels through the converter box
(scrambled and unscrambled).
* Using the programmable timer to record only the
channel selected at the converter box.
Prevents:
* Recording one channel while watching another.
* Using the DVD/VCR tuner to select channels.
