VCR and Cable Box 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.
With this connection you can:
❑
Use the TV remote control to change channels coming through
the cable box. (You must first program the remote control for
your specific cable box; see “Programming the Remote Control”
on page 24.)
❑ Use the TV remote control to change channels coming directly
into the TV’s VHF/UHF jack. (The TV’s tuner provides a better
signal than the cable box.)
❑ Record channels coming through the cable box and channels
coming directly into the TV.
To connect a VCR and cable box, you need:
❑
A splitter, which is a small, inexpensive device that you can
purchase at your local electronics store.
❑ Four coaxial cables.
❑ Two A/V cables or two S VIDEO cable with audio cables.
To connect the VCR and cable box
1 Connect the CATV cable to the single (input) jack of the splitter.
2 Use a coaxial cable to connect one of the splitter’s two output
jacks to the TV’s VHF/UHF jack.
3 Use a coaxial cable to connect the splitter’s other output jack to
the cable box’s input jack.
4 Use a coaxial cable to connect the cable box’s output jack to the
VCR’s RF input jack.
5 Use an A/V cable to connect the cable box’s A/V output jacks to
the TV’s A/V input jacks.
6 Use an A/V cable to connect the VCR’s A/V output jacks to the
TV’s A/V input jacks.
7 Run Auto Program, as described in “Setting Up the Channel List”
on page 20.
