Cable Box and VCR/DVR
If you have a set-top cable box (STB) and a VCR or personal digital video recorder (DVR), connect them as shown.
NOTE:
•
If your devices have different connectors than those shown, use the highest-quality video connection
available. Observe the color-coding on all connectors.
•
For digital cable, your set-top cable box (STB) might require a special two-direction splitter. Contact your
cable provider for information. Or you can omit the splitter and omit the connection to the television cable
input.
•
If all channels are scrambled, connect the incoming cable directly to the cable box (omit the splitter and
omit the connection to the television cable input).
•
You can eliminate the cable box if your cable provider can install a CableCARD module in the television.
See "Installing a CableCARD Module" on page 19.
