1Select antenna mode by pressing ANT on the remote control.

2Turn the cable to OFF (see page 40).

3Perform the Auto Program function (see page 40).

Cable Box and Cable

This is the preferred basic cable TV hookup to use if your cable TV company scrambles some channels, but not all of them (pay channels vs. regular cable channels), so you need to use a cable box.

With this setup you can:

Use the TV remote control to change channels using your cable box when the signal is scrambled.

Use the TV remote control to change channels using your TV when the signal is not scrambled. (Your TV’s tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)

Use the Twin View feature. (When all channels are routed through your cable box, only one signal is sent to the TV, so you cannot use the Twin View feature.)

Use the Twin View feature normally with the CATV input.

Use the Twin View feature partially with the cable box. When you switch the TV input to AUX — to use the cable box — the unscrambled picture from the cable box will display. You can display the signal from both AUX and VHF/UHF inputs in the left Twin View picture, but you can display only the signal from the VHF/UHF input in the right Twin View picture.
