Cable "IV channels will then be supplied into your home through a cable. Your local cable television company can advise you of the channels available in your area and any special adaptors that may be required. To receive cable channels, set the W/CAW selector to the CATV position (TUNING menu). CATV CHANNEL 99 A-1 100 W+59 124 W+83 125 W+84 NUMBERS Your VCR can receive cable channels in addition to the regular channels (VHF 2-13, UHF 14-69). Cable channels are identified by a number, or in some cases, are the same as used by UHF channels. Cable channels are considered to be VHF channels (not UHF). For example, CATV Channel 26 is not the same as UHF Channel 26. VIEWING TV ONLY Switch on the -iV and set it to the channel that you wish to watch. You don't need to disconnect the VCR from the TV to watch "IV separately. When the VCR's power is OFF, or when the VCR's power is ON and the TV/VCR selector is set to TV, the IV will operate as if it were connected directly to the antenna or cable.
