Notes on pay cable TV
systems
Pay cable TV systems use
scrambled or encoded signals
and require special converters
(decoders) in addition to the
normal cable connection.
Cable TV Channel Assignment
Cable TV systems use letters or numerals to designate channels. To tune-in a
CATV channel, refer to the chart below which shows the CATV channel, numbers
on this VCR and the corresponding CATV channel. Note that the channel number
assignment shown in the chart may not correspond to the channel number used by
your local cable company. Check with your local cable TV company for more
information on the available channels.
Number on this VCR
Corresponding
CATV channel
This VCR is designed to correspond to the standard cable system. However, cable
TV services may vary from area to area. Your local cable TV company may have
adopted either the HRC*' or IRC*? cable system. Still, this VCR can receive either
of these two cable systems in the best condition.
HRC*1 (Harmonic Related Carriers)
All channels except for 5 and 6 are 1250 kHz lower than the standard cable
system. Channels 5 and 6 are 750 kHz higher than the standard cable system.
IRC*2 (incremental Related Carriers)
All channels except for 5 and 6 are the same as the standard cable system.
Channels 5 and 6 are 2000 kHz higher than the standard cable system.
FINE TUNING indicator for receiving HRC or IRC cable systems
Even when signals are received in optimal condition, the FINE TUNING indicator
will not stay at the center position for channels higher or lower than the standard
cable system due to the difference in the frequencies.
