Installing the TV

Cable Box Only

Use this hookup if:

You subscribe to a cable TV system that uses scrambled or encoded signals requiring a cable box to view all channels, and

You do not intend to hook up any other audio or video equipment to your TV.

When all channels are routed through your cable box, only one unscrambled signal is sent to the TV, so you cannot use the Twin View feature. If some channels are scrambled, but others are not, consider using the hookup on page 12 instead.

1Connect the coaxial connector from your cable service to the cable box’s IN jack.

2Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box’s OUT jack to the TV’s VHF/UHF jack.
