Scrambled Cable-TV Channels

Some cable-TV decoders require that you manually switch from regular to scrambled channels on the decoder whenever you wish to view the premium pay channels.

By connecting the decoder to the ANTA input and

CONVERTER output on the TV as shown here, you can switch between the scrambled and unscrambled channels

using the remote control.

To change the incoming signal from ANTA to ANT B, simply press the ANTENNA button on the remote. Each time you press the ANTENNA button, the channel numbers will change color on the screen to show which antenna signal you are watching.

Nonscrambled cable channels will come thru the ANTB input whenever the channel numbers are yellow. The scrambled channel from the decoder box will come thru the ANTA input whenever the channel numbers are blue. Be sure to leave the decoder box set to the scrambled channel, and remember to tune your TV to the output channel of the converter box (usually 2, 3, or 4).
