How do i hook up my new cable box for descrambling to my vcr
They recently took fox network away from this town.i was able to purchase a box from the cable co that gave us our channels back. when i hooked the vcr to it and tried to program it, it read L1,L2, and 03 only as channel options. i called time warner support which told me they had hooked this box up to this vcr many times without difficulty. i am ready to return the box and just do without american idol!!

If the cable box has audio and video outputs on it then use RCA type cables to connect the outputs of the cable box into the video and audio IN of the back of the VCR. Then select L1 on the VCR. If your TV has video and audio input connectors connect another set of cables form the VCR OUT to the IN puts of the TV, then select the AV inputs on the TV. If your TV doesn't have video and audio inputs, then use a coax cable from the RF/Antenna OUT of the VCR and connect it to the antenna jack on the TV. Now select 3or4 on the VCR to whatever works for your location and tune the TV to that same channel. That's it ...you now can watch and record the channel you're watching. You will have to have the VCR powered up all the time to watch TV
