Attached is the rear panel of the VCR.
I cannot find an image of the cable box which is a general instrument dct2224/1361/ABCDE. The only thing in the past that I've ever hooked up to it is the cable coax coming in from the house.

This should help eliminate any confusion. The following steps are the correct connections to use.
(1) Coax from wall to cable box
(2) Coax from cable box to VCR IN (FROM ANT.)
(3) Coax from VCR OUT (TO TV)
(4) Coax to TV ANT IN
If you currently set the TV to channel 3 to watch cable, set the VCR to channel 3.
If you currently set the TV to channel 4 to watch cable, set the VCR to channel 4.
This will work if everything is exactly as described.
If you try to connect any other cable type (component or anything) the system will not work. I hope I explained this, so you can understand it. If not I'll try to reword it.
