Connecting Cable TV and VCR
You can connect different cable systems to your TV, including cable without a cable box, and cable with a cable box that descrambles some or all channels.
Cable without a Cable Box
If you want to connect cable, and you do not need to use a cable box:
1 | Plug the incoming cable into the “Cable IN” terminal |
on the rear panel. |
Cable with a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels
1 | Find the cable that is connected to the ANTENNA | |
OUT terminal on your cable box. This terminal might | ||
| be labeled “ANT OUT”, “VHF OUT” or simply, | |
| “OUT”. | |
| Connect the other end of this cable to the “Cable IN” | |
2 | ||
terminal on the rear panel. |
Connecting an Analog Cable Converter Box
This connection allows you to watch cable and premium channels. You should keep your TV selected to “Cable IN” so that you can use the TV features. When viewing premium chan- nels, select “Air IN” and tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever channel is vacant in your area), then use the converter box to change channels. You will need two coaxial cables.
From Cable
•When you use a converter box with your TV, there may be fea- tures that you can not program using the remote control, such as programming your favorite channels and blocking chan- nels.
•The output from "Cable Out" is not available when "Air/CATV" is set to "Cable" in the PIP menu.
