SETUP Setup SETUP 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 37.) ❑ 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. ✍ DIGITAL CABLE BOX USERS: If you are connecting a digital cable box, you will need a special bi-directional splitter that is designed to work with your digital cable box. Contact your cable provider for details. Using S VIDEO jacks? See page 15. ❑ Three coaxial cables. ❑ Two A/V or S VIDEO cables 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 the Auto Setup program, as described in "Setting Up the Channel List" on page 32.
