INSTRUCTIONS

How to hook up SCV to your TV

To connect directly to your cable ready television:

1. You will need enough cable wire to run from the wall to the back of the TV.
2. Locate the cable outlet on the wall.
3.

Connect one end of the wire to the connection on the wall.
            
Note: Make sure the wire is screwed on straight and is finger tight. Do not use a wrench or pliers to connect the wire.

4. Connect the other end to the "In" on the back of your TV.
Note: Make sure the wire is screwed on straight and is finger tight. Do not use a wrench or pliers to connect the wire.
5. Refer to the TV's manual to program the TV for standard cable. The button may be listed as: program, set-up, menu, memory, etc.

Note: If you get channels 2-13 only, your TV is not properly programmed. Consult your manual.

To connect through a VCR or convertor box:
(Non-cable-ready TV's will need either a VCR or Convertor box and a transformer)

1. You will need enough cable wire to run from the wall to the back of the VCR or convertor box.
You will need a second smaller wire to run from the VCR to the TV.
2. Locate the cable outlet on the wall.
3. Connect one end of the wire to the connection on the wall.

Note: Make sure the wire is screwed on straight and is finger tight. Do not use a wrench or pliers to connect the wire.

4. Connect the other end to the "In" on the back of your Convertor box or VCR.

Note: Make sure the wire is screwed on straight and is finger tight. Do not use a wrench or pliers to connect the wire.

5. Refer to the VCR's manual to program it for standard cable. The button may be listed as: program, set-up, menu, memory, etc.
6. Connect the second wire from the "Out" on the VCR/Convertor box to the "In" on the TV.
7. Set the TV to channel 3 or 4. Refer to the TV 's manual. There may also be a switch on the back of the TV to select 3 or 4.
8. If the TV is not cable-ready connect the wire to a transformer. Then connect the transformer to the VHS & UHF connections on the TV.



Program the TV
1. Once the television is connected to cable you will need to program your television for Standard Cable.
2. Since each television is different refer to your TV or VCR User Manual. (Many manufacturer's have user manuals on their company web sites available in downloadable files.)
3.

Most TVs or VCRs will be programmed using your remote control. If you do not have access to a manual, look for a button labeled "Setup", "Program" or "Menu".

4. Next you should be given an on-screen menu. Again every television will be different. Look for "Channel Setup", "Cable Mode" or possibly "Auto Programming".
5. Most TVs will begin scanning through all the available channels. When complete you should receive over 70 channels.
6. If you are still having problems, please submit a repair ticket or contact HELP Line at 644-HELP (4357).
