HOOKUP DIAGRAMS

Basic Cable-Ready TV Hookup with a Cable Converter

There are TV sets on the market today called "cable-ready." These are capable of receiving most of the channels available with Time Warner Cable without a converter box. However, if you subscribe to Cinemax, the Disney Channel, Showtime, CablePlus or any of our multi-channel services, a converter is necessary to descramble the picture. The same is true in order to take advantage of pay-per-view service. Using your VCR with your cable television service is easy; just follow the setup instructions below:

  1. Tune your cable television converter to the channel you wish to record.
  2. Tune your VCR to channel 3.
  3. The VCR will now record desired channel.
  4. If you wish to use the timer recorder, set timer for desired times to be recorded on channel 3 on the VCR. Then leave the converter turned on, tuned to the channel you wish to record.

NOTE:

  • On the back of your VCR is a channel 3/4 switch. This switch should be set to channel 3.
  • The above instructions are the recommended setup procedures for Time Warner Cable customers with converters. These instructions may vary from those listed in your VCR manual.
