Connecting a cable converter box or Antenna

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.

Option 1: For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service

Connecting TV/DVDyour

For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box,

connect the incoming 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the Antenna

 

 

Jack on the back of the television.

 

Option 2: For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service

 

If you subscribe to a cable service that 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

 

below. 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.

Option 3: 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 (some- times called a "two-set coupler") and an A/B Switch box from the cable installer or an electronics supply store. Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the "B" position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV/DVD. With the switch in the "A" position, tune your TV/DVD to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.
