OPERATING YOUR HOME TERMINAL (cont.)
Using a bypass module
If a bypass module has been installed on the rear panel of your home terminal, the regular
(analog) channels can bypass your home terminal. For the bypass module to work properly,
your home terminal must be connected to the AC power supply and turned on (so that
POWER is lighted on its front panel).
To turn on the bypass feature, press the BYPASS button on your remote control.
To turn off the bypass feature, press the BYPASS button again.
While the bypass is on, the word BYPASS is lighted on the front panel of your home terminal.
When the bypass is on,
you can use the TV’s remote control to tune to any of the available
regular channels and watch that channel on your TV. This may be a different channel from the
channel that your home terminal is tuned to. (The number of the channel your home terminal
is tuned to is shown on its front panel.)
You can record on your VCR the channel that your home terminal is tuned to. This means that
when the bypass is on, you can watch a regular (analog) channel on your TV and, at the same
time, record a
different
channel (digital or analog) on your VCR.
When the bypass is off,
you will see on your TV the channel that your home terminal is tuned
to. This is the same channel that your VCR receives. So, when the bypass is off, you can record
only the channel that you are watching on your TV.
