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.
When the A/B switch is in the A position, you can change channels on the TV/VCR; 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. 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 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.
