Although I don't know about the specifics of that machine, I can tell
you that "cable ready" doesn't necessarily tell you the whole story.
For some reason, some cable operators put garbage in their signals
that only THEIR converter can clear out, thereby requiring YOU to use
their converter. Consequently, the "cable ready" vcrs will indeed give
you the picture, but often of very poor quality.  Also, with "premium pay
services" you have to have a converter box, anyway.  So if push comes to
shove, don't forego a good buy just because it isn't cable ready.
