Notes about cable boxes:
The connection diagram shown above refl ects a basic setup. Since there are many different cable companies and types of cables boxes, your cable box may come
with a different recommended connection diagram. Normally, ANALOG cable boxes are used so that the cable company can scramble the signal for premium
channel programming (like movie channels). The cable box will descramble the signal if you are a premium channel subscriber. In some cases, your cable
company may not scramble the signal for basic channels and the signal could be passed through the cable box so that you could receive the signal with the DVD
recorder.
There are also DIGITAL cable boxes that are relatively new and are used with digital cable service. Even with digital cable service, analog signals are often
carried on the same cable.
Using the connection diagram above, you won’t be able to watch one program while recording another program. This may be possible with a more sophisticated
setup, using an optional signal splitter and A-B switch. We suggest you contact your cable company for help in recommending the best setup for your situation.
