Many cable companies offer services permitting reception of extra channels including pay or subscription channels.
This DVD/VCR has an extended tuning range and can be tuned to most cable channels without using a cable
company supplied converter box, except for those channels which are intentionally scrambled. If you subscribe to
a special channel which is scrambled, you must have a descrambler box for proper reception.

speakers to be damaged.
•
Caution for the optical digital audio output connector: Do not connect to an amplifier (with an optical digital input
connector) which does not contain a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder. Otherwise, any attempt to play DVDs may
cause such a high level of noise that it may be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.
•
DTS audio will be output only from the COAXIAL or OPTICAL output. To hear DTS audio, DTS-Decoder is
necessary.
•
When playing DTS-encoded CDs, only noise will be heard from the speakers or analogue stereo outputs.
•
Some DTS decoders which do not support DVD-DTS interface may not work properly with the unit.
