Converter Box/VCR Installation
Hooking Up Your Cable Box & VCR (or DVD)

Installing a Converter



Step 1) Connect the cable drop (the cable wire which is attached to the wall outlet) to the "IN" terminal on the converter.
Step 2) Take the short piece of cable and connect one end to the "OUT" terminal on the converter. Connect the other end to the "VHF" or "75 OHM" terminal of the TV.
Step 3) Plug the converter into an electrical outlet and plug the TV into the outlet on the back of the converter. This allows the remote control to turn on the TV and the converter at the same time in most cases. If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure the switch is "on."
Note: If you do not have an optional converter that works by remote control, plug the TV directly into an electrical outlet.

Before using the converter, turn the channel selector on your TV to Channel 3. Leave it on this channel at all times; the converter will only work when the TV is on this channel.

Note: Channel 3 is the input channel on most TV sets. In some cases it may be Channel 2 or 4.

Connecting TV and VCR (or DVD)


Step 1) Connect the cable drop to the "IN" terminal on the converter.
Step 2) Run a jumper cable from the converter "OUT" terminal to the "IN" terminal on your VCR
Step 3) Run a second jumper cable from the "OUT" terminal of your VCR to the "75 OHM" terminal on your TV if it is a cable ready set. If not, attach a matching transformer to the end of the cable and attach the transformer to the VHF aerial terminals.
