Page 16: Cable Tv Connections
Connections Cable TV connections Many cable companies offer services permitting reception of extra channels including pay or subscription channels. This DVD/VCR has an extended tuning range and can be tuned to most cable channels without using a cable company supplied converter box, except for those premium channels which are intentionally scrambled. If you subscribe to a premium channel which is scrambled, you must have a descrambler box for proper reception. - Page 17 IMPORTANT: Make sure the TV/CABLE menu option is set to the “CABLE” mode. This DVD/VCR cannot receive scrambled programs since it does not contain a descrambler. In order to receive scram- bled programs, your existing descrambler must be used. Descrambler boxes are available from cable companies. Con- sult your local cable company for more information concerning connection to their descrambler equipment.
