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.

: Connecting an Antenna or Cable to Your TV/VCR
When the A/B switch is in the A position, you can change chan-
nels 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 equipment 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 thunderstorm 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.
