This television has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a cable company supplied converter box. 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 which is generally provided by the cable company.

Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Single 75 ohm Cable or 300 ohm Twin-lead Wire)

Connect the 75 ohm cable from a combination VHF/UHF antenna to the Antenna Jack. If your combination antenna has a 300 ohm Twin-lead Wire, use the 300-75 ohm Matching Transformer (not supplied).

Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Separate VHF and UHF 300 ohm Twin-leads)

Connect the UHF Twin-lead Wire to a Combiner (not supplied). Connect the VHF Twin-lead to the 300-75 ohm Matching Transformer (not supplied). Attach the Transformer to the Combiner. Attach the Combiner to the Antenna Jack.

Separate VHF/UHF Antennas

Connect the 75 ohm Cable from the VHF antenna and the UHF antenna Twin-lead to a combiner (not supplied). Attach the Combiner to the Antenna Jack.

NOTE:If your VHF antenna has a Twin-lead Wire, use the 300- 75 ohm Matching Transformer (not supplied), then connect the Transformer to the Combiner.

For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service

For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the Antenna Jack on the back of the television.

For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service

If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to the Converter/Descrambler box and connect the output of the box to the Antenna Jack on the back of the television. Follow the connections shown left. Set the television to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.

For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable with Scrambled Premium Channels

If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter (sometimes called a "two-set coupler") and an A/B Switch box from the cable installer or an electronics supply store. Follow the connections shown left. With the switch in the "B" position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the "A" position, tune your TV to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.
