Cable Connection
Cable-This Unit-TV (For CATV/PAY Channels Recording/Playback)
The unit has an extended range, and can tune the Low-Band, Mid-Band, Super-Band, Hyper-Band, Ultra-Band, and Special cable channels
(Channels A-5
(Channels A-5
sA-1, AsW, AAsEEE, GGGsWWW, WWWr1sWWWr12, 100s125, 5A). Also, the unit can tune to any of the 56 UHF
channels (14
s69). Refer to Channel Set on page 29.
BASIC Hook-Up
Since the unit can tune Mid and Super Bands, this connection will provide the reception of
all cable channels except those which are intentionally scrambled.
However, if you subscribe to a special channel which is scrambled you will probably have a
descrambler box for proper reception. The unit by itself cannot properly receive a
scrambled program since it does not contain a descrambler. In order for the unit to properly
receive a scrambled program, your existing descrambler must be used. There are two
commonly used methods of connection in this case.

Typical Cable System Hook Ups with Cable Converter/Descrambler Boxes
Since the unit has an extended range of tuning, tuning-programing of non-scrambled Mid-Band and Super-Band TV programs is possible.
When a cable converter or descrambler box is connected to the unit, all timer-controlled recording functions will continue to operate with
the exception of charging channels automatically. CATV Channel selection will have to be performed with the cable converter. Timer-
controlled recording from CATV Channels is therefore limited to one channel at any given time.
