Connecting Cable tV
To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.
Cable without a Cable Box
. Plug the incoming cable into the ANT 2 IN (CABLE) terminal on the back of the TV.
Because this TV is cable-ready, you do not need a cable box to view unscrambled cable channels.
Connecting to a Cable Box that descrambles all Channels
. Find the cable that is connected to the ANT OUT terminal on your cable box.
This terminal might be labeled "ANT OUT", "VHF OUT" or simply, "OUT".
. Connect the other end of this cable to the ANT 2 IN (CABLE) terminal on the back of the TV.
Connecting to a Cable Box that descrambles Some Channels
If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the instructions below. You will need a two-
way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths of RF cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)
. Find and disconnect the cable that is
connected to the ANT IN terminal on your
cable box.
This terminal might be labeled "ANT IN",
"VHF IN" or simply, "IN".
. Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.
. Connect an RF cable between the OUTPUT
terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal
on the cable box.
. Connect an RF cable between the
ANT OUT terminal on the cable box and
the B–IN terminal on the RF(A/B) switch.
. Connect another cable between the other
OUT terminal on the splitter and the A–IN
terminal on the RF (A/B) switch.
6. Connect the last RF cable between the
OUT terminal on the RF (A/B) switch and
the ANT IN terminal on the rear of the TV.
After you have made this connection, set the A/B switch to the "A" position for normal viewing. Set the A/B switch to the "B" position to
view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B switch to "B", you will need to tune your TV to the cable box's output channel, which is
usually channel 3 or 4.)
