Many cable companies offer services permitting reception of extra channels including pay or subscription channels.

This 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.

Use of the programmable timer.

Recording of one channel while watching another.

Recording of channels through the converter box (scrambled and

unscrambled).
