Connecting
a cable converter
box or Antenna
This television has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable
channels without using a cable company supplied converter box. Some
cable companies offer "premium pay channels" in which the signal is
scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the
use of a descrambler device, which is generally provided by the cable
company.

if you subscribe to a cable service that requires the use of a Converter/

Jack on the back of the television.
Follow the connections shown below.
Set the television to the output of the Converter/Descrambler
box
(usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/Descrambler
box to
select channels.
Option
3: For Subscribers
to Unscrambled
Basic
Cable with
Scrambled
Premium
Channels
if you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are
unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a Converter/
Descrambler box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter (some-
times called a "two-set coupler") and an A/B Switch box from the cable
installer or an electronics supply store. Follow the connections shown
below. With the switch in the "B" position, you can directly tune any
nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the "A" position,
tune your TV to the output of the Converter/Descrambler
box (usually
channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.
Note:
When you use a converter box with your TV,
there may be features that you cannot
program using the remote control, such as
labefing channels, blocking channels, and
programming your favorite channels.
