If your cable system requires you to use a
converter box for all channels,
connect the
incoming cable to the IN terminal on the converter
box. Connect another cable between the OUT
terminal on the converter box and the ANT. IN
terminal on the VCR. Keep your VCR tuned to channel
3 or 4 and change channels using the converter box.

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.
Connect a coaxial cable between the OUT terminal on
the A/B switch and the ANT. IN on your VCR.
When the A/B switch is in the B position, use the
converter box to change channels ; when the A/B
switch is in the A position, use the VCR to change
channels.
