Depending on the Time Warner Cable (TWC) package that you selected when subscribing to the service, you may have been given a Motorola cable box. If you have chosen not to have a technician come and set up the box for you, you must make all of the connections between it, your television and a VCR yourself. The process is fairly straightforward, and with a little information, you can have it connected in a short time.
Step 1
Turn off the TWC Motorola cable box and make sure nothing is placed on top of it. Rotate the cable box or shift your own position so that you have access to the cable box back panel.
Step 2
Screw one end of the coaxial cable into the "Cable In" jack on the back of your television. Screw the other end of this cable into the coaxial jack farthest to the left on the back of the cable box, labeled "To TVVCR." If you are also using a VCR, screw a coaxial cable into the "Cable In" on the TV, and screw the other end into the "Cable Out" jack on the VCR. Connect a coaxial cable from the VCR "Cable In" jack to the cable box "To TVVCR" jack. If you wish to use S-Video instead of the coaxial cable, connect an S-Video cable from the "S-Video In" port on your TV or VCR to the "S-Video" port on the back of the cable box.
Step 3
Screw the coaxial cable leading from the source of the cable television into the jack labeled "Cable In."
Step 4
Screw one end of a short coaxial cable into the jack labeled "RF In." Screw the other end of this cable into the jack labeled "To RF In."
Step 5
Connect your audio component cables to the "Audio In" cables on your TV or VCR according to their color. Plug the other end of these cables into either the "To TV" or "To VCR" audio jacks on the back of the cable box.
Step 6
Check all cable connections to make certain they are secure and turn on the cable box.
