channel of the VCR (usually 3 or 4)--the
same channel as the position of the VCR's
CH3/CH4switch.
Most cable companies that require use of a converter/decoder
box only require the box for scrambled premium channels
like HBO or Showtime. All the other cable-TV channels can
usually be viewed without the converter box. Therefore, by
using a signal splitter, you can send the incoming cable-TV
:;ignals directly to the "IV and also thru the converter/decoder
box and VCR as shown above.
You can easily switch between the signals coming into the
ANTAjack and the ANTBjack by pressing the ANTENNAbutton
,an the remote control. The channel numbers will change
colors to let you know which antenna signals you are
watching. When the numbers are blue, you are seeing the
aNTAsignals. When the numbers are yellow, you are seeing
the ANTe signals.
The cable-TV channels that are not scrambled can then be
seen whenever the TV is receiving the ANTAsignals. The
cable-TV channels that are scrambled can then be seen thru
the converter box and then thru the VCR whenever the TV is
receiving the ANTS signals. Most VCRs will feed the signal
thru their antenna jacks even when the VCR is turned off.
This allows you to watch scrambled channels from the
converter box without having to turn on the VCR.
This connection can be useful because it will let you record a
scrambled channel on the VCR at the same time you are
watching a non-scrambled channel thru the ANTAjack on the
TV.
For picture-in-picture viewing, be sure to also connect the
audio/video cables from the VCR to the TV as shown on
pages 46-47. The VCR must be turned on and tuned to the
output channel of the cable box (usually 2, 3, or 4) for
picture-in-picture viewing.
Note: Be sure to also connect the VCR's AUDIOand VIDEOOUTjacks to
the TV's AUDIOand VIDEOINjacks as shown on pages 46-47. The
audio/video connections are necessary for picture-in-picture viewing
and for stereo playback from the VCR. To see the signals from the
VCR that are going into the TV's iNPUTjacks, select'IV channel 91 if
yon connected the VCR to the INPUT 1jacks or select channel 92 if you
connected the VCR to the INPUT2 jacks. Select TV channel 90 if you
have an S-VHS VCR connected to the TV's S-VIDEOconnector.
