Basic Television Operation (cont’d)
There are a number of ways you can choose to integrate your Entertainment Machine with the rest of your equipment. Channels can be changed using the television, the VCR, or the cable box, with advantages to each.
USING THE TELEVISION AS THE TUNER preserves all your channel labels (not available on some models). It also reduces the number of keys on the remote control you need to worry about. (One device, one remote to learn.)
USING THE VCR AS THE TUNER has the advantage of simplifying the recording process. If the VCR is tuned to channel seven, then the VCR will record channel seven.
USING THE CABLE BOX (if you have one) to change the stations sometimes has an advantage, too, especially if your cable provider requires you to use their cable box to descramble their stations.
Setting Up a Tuner
1 |
Based on the advantages listed above, decide what |
|
device you want to use as the tuner. |
||
|
||
2 |
Connect the antenna or cable source to the input |
|
|
of your tuner. (If you chose your television as the |
|
|
tuner, then you’re done. Go watch your |
|
|
Entertainment Machine.) |
|
3 |
Connect the output of your tuner to the input of the |
|
|
next device. |
4 |
If you used A/V cables for step 3, set the “next |
|
device” to Video input. If you used an RF coaxial |
||
|
||
|
cable in step 3, then tune the “next device” to |
|
|
match the output channel of your tuner (usually |
|
|
channel 3 or 4). |
|
5 |
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you reach your |
|
|
||
|
Entertainment Machine. Then enjoy! |
