Page 36

Your new TV is designed to receive up to 181 channels in the U.S.A. including 125 non-scrambled cable channels (see chart below). To use this TV ori a cable- TV system, confirm that the cable-TV system is properly connected to your TV. Since cable systems vary, you may wish

to consult your local cable-TV company for additional information.

If your cable-TV company follows EIA/NCTA channel-identification

standards, most of the channels offered by your cable company will be identified by channel numbers that are identical to those on your TV. For example, if your cable-TV system has programs on cable channel 20, you can choose this channel' by selecting channel 20 on your TV.

If your cable company offers cable channels 90, 91, or 92 you can tune them

by selecting the TV channels shown below.

Some cable-TV companies do not follow the EIA/NCTA standards and instead

assign their own channel identification. For example, some use the standard broadcast channel numbers (2-13) for channels 2-13, but identify their other channels with letters. If your cable company does not $ollow the EIA/NCTA standards, ask them for a cross reference that shows to which channels you should

tune your "IV.to receive their cable-TV channels.

Not all cable-TV channels will be active on your particular cable-TV system.

Also some cable companies may require the use of a decoder with their cable-TV

system. Consult your cable company or local dealer for details.

Scrambled Cable-TV Channels

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 (cable box) which is generally provided by the cable company,

How you connect the cable boxto your TV depends upon whether or not the cable box can be controlled by remote control. The TV's remote can also control most brands of cable boxes, so ff your cable box is remote controllable, you may want to connect it as shown in Diagram B on page 31. Instructions for programming the TV's remote to control the cable box are on page 33.

If your cable box cannot be controlled by remote control, you Will still be able to

remotely control "unscrambled" channels with the connection shown in

Diagram C on page 31.

Since cable systems vary, you may wish to consult your local cable company for additional information.

VI-/F is only counted once in total channel count because you can receive channels 2-13 on both "off-air" and "cable" channels. Therefore the total channel count for "off-air"and

"cable" is 181 channels (68+125-12=181).

Charmels 95, 96, and 97 are not applicable in Canada. Therefore the total number of channels for Canada is 178 (68+122-12=178).
