Model 104  (160-0541)    Cable Channel Designations    Faxback Doc. # 3945

The VCR can receive up to 113 cable channels.  The VCR displays the
channels as 1-125.  Channels 2-13 are the same for VHF and cable TV, and
cable companies usually number them as they appear on the display. 
However, cable companies often designate other cable channels with letter
or letter-number combinations.

The following chart shows common cable channel designations.
