If your cable system only requires you to use a converter box for some channels (i. e.
pay-TV channels), follow these steps: Find the primary incoming coaxial cable. Plug this
cable into a splitter (available at your local electronics store). Connect one coaxial cable
between one OUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the converter box. Connect
another coaxial cable between the other OUT terminal on the splitter and the A-IN terminal on
an A/B switch (available at your local electronics store.) Connect a third coaxial cable
between the OUT terminal on the converter box and the B-IN terminal on the A/B switch.
Finally, connect a coaxial cable between the OUT terminal on the A/B switch and the antenna
terminal on the back of your TV/VCR Combination.
When the A/B switch is in the A position, you can change channels on the TV/VCR
Combination; when the A/B switch is in the B position, you, need to change channels on the
converter box (and your TV should be tuned to channel 3 or 4)
Connecting Other Pieces of Equipment
You may want to connect a VCR, laser disc player, satellite receiver, or another type of equip-
ment to your TV/VCR Combination. We recommend that you follow the instructions included
with the piece of equipment you wish to connect.
If you connect other pieces of equipment to your TV/VCR Combination using the audio/video
jacks on the front panel, you will need to use the TV/LINE button on the remote control to
view the signal coming through these jacks. See page 41 for more information.
Safety Notes
If you plan on being away from your home for an extended period of time, or if a thunder-
storm is approaching, you should unplug your television, and you may wish to disconnect
your TV from a rooftop or satellite antenna. You do not need to disconnect your TV from a
cable system.
