your
Machine
with-more
equipment.
There are a number of ways you can choose to integrateyour EntertainmentMachine with the restofyour equipment.
ChanneLs can be changed using thetelevision,the VCR, orthe cablebox, with advantages to each.
USING THE TELEVISION AS THE TUNER preservesa[[yourchannel[abeLs(notavai[abl.eon some models).Italso
reducesthenumber of keyson the remote controlyou need to worryabout.(One device,one remote to [earn.)
USING THE VCR AS THE TUNER has the advantage of simplifyingthe recordingproce.';s.Ifthe VCR istuned to
channel seven,then the VCR willrecordchannel seven.
USI.NG_TH_CABLE BOX (i_you have one) to change the stations sometimes has an advartage, too, especiaLLy if
your cable provider requires you to use their cable box to descramb[e their stations.
Based on the advantages Listed above, decide what
device you want to use as the tuner for your
Entertainment Machine.
Connect the antenna or cable source to the input
of your tuner. If you chose your te{evision as the
tuner, then you're done. Go watch your
Entertainment Machine.
Connect the output ofyour tunerto the input of the
nextdevice.
If you used A/V cab[es for step 3, set the "next
device" to Video input. If you used an RF coaxia[
cab[e in step 3, then tune the "next device" to
match the output channe[ of your tuner (usually
channel 3 or 4).
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you reach your
Entertainment Machine. _hen enjoy!
