Connecting Cable TV

To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.

Cable without a Cable Box

1.Plug the incoming cable into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.

➣Because this TV is cable-ready, you do not need a cable box to view unscrambled cable channels.

After you have made this connection, set the A/B switch to the “A” position for normal viewing. Set the A/B switch to the “B” position to view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B switch to “B”, you will need to tune your TV to the cable box’s output channel, which is usually channel 3 or 4.)
