VCR and Cable Box Use this hookup if:
❑ Your cable TV company scrambles some channels, but not all of them
(pay channels vs. regular cable channels) and you need to use a cable
box.
❑ You want to enjoy the Twin View feature.
With this setup you can:
❑ Use the TV’s remote control to change channels on your cable box
when the signal is scrambled. To program your Sony remote control to
operate your cable box, see “Programming the Remote Control” on
page 64.
❑ Use the TV’s remote control to change channels on your TV when the
signal is not scrambled. Your TV’s tuner provides a better signal than
the cable box.
❑ Use the Twin View feature. (When all channels are routed through your
cable box, only one signal is sent to the TV, so you cannot use the Twin
View feature.)
Disconnect all power sources before making any connections.
