Advanced Cable Converter Box Hookup

This hookup is fairly complicated and is intended for ad-
vanced 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR users. The advantage of
this hookup is that it allows you to record a non-scrambled
channel and watch that channel or a selected channel from
your cable box at the same time. A disadvantage of this
hookup is that it does not allow you to record premium
channels that require your cable converter box for
descrambling (you can still watch those channels).

This hookup is challenging because it requires you to use
different procedures for watching and recording TV pro-
grams than the procedures described in the 8mm/VHS Dual-
Deck VCR User’s Guide. It also requires you to change
‘control’ back and forth between your Dual-Deck VCR and
your cable converter box.

Tip:

If you are not getting a good

picture, try changing your TV and

the switch on the back of the

Dual-Deck VCR to channel 4.
