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-5sA-1, AsW, AAsEEE, GGGsWWW, WWWr1sWWWr12, 100s125, 5A). Also, the unit can tune to any of the 56 UHF

channels (14s69). 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.

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.
