Cable-TV Connections
Your VCR is designed to receive unscrambled cable
channels as shown in the chart below.
CHANNEL NUMBER CABLE REFERENCE

2-13 2-13
14-36 A-W
95-99 A-5 to A-1
The manner in which you interconnect your VCR and
TV with a cable-TV system is dependent primarily on
(a) whether your TV is cable-compatible and (b) whether
any channels on your cable-TV system are scrambled.
Use the Selection Chart at the right to determine which
one of the following four Cable-TV connection diagrams
(A-D) you should use.

Note: If you wish to also record one or more local UHF
channels that your Cable-TV system does not offer, first
follow the appropriate cable-TV connection instructions
described below, then connect your UHF antenna to
your VCR as described in the section titled “Antenna
Connections”.
Note: Set the NORM/ CA TV Switch on the back of your
VCR to CA TV if you connect a cable-TV system to your
VCR.

tuned to the channel you have been using (usually
channel 3 or 4) and use the converter box as you
always have for normal TV viewing and for viewing
some other channel while you are recording.
When yju want to view the channel you are
recording, or when you play the VCR, tune the
“converter box” to the same channel that you have
set the channel switch on the back of the VCR, either
channel 3 or 4. (This is called the “VCR channel”
throughout the operating instructions in this manual.)
Note: The VCR will not be able to record scrambled
channels with this hookup. To record scrambled
channels, use hookup D.
