There may be additional procedures for picking up pay-for-view or scrambled channels, which the cable company will gladly help you with. Option 1--All Channels Scrambled 1. Remove the cable company's cable line from the back of your TV. Connect it to the IN FRONT ANT lower jack on the back of the VCR. 2. Using the 75 ohm coaxial cable supplied with your VCR, connect either end to the VCR's OUT TO TV upper jack 3.
