Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels

If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the instructions below. You will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths of coaxial cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)

1

Find and disconnect the cable that is connected to the ANTENNA IN terminal on your cable box.

œThis terminal might be labeled “ANT IN”, “VHF IN”, or simply “IN”.

2

Connect this cable to a two- way splitter. Connect a coaxial cable between an OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the cable box.

4

Connect another cable between the other OUT terminal on the splitter and the A-IN terminal on the RF (A/B) switch.

5

Connect the last coaxial cable between the OUT terminal on the RF (A/B) switch and the “ANT IN” terminal on the rear panel.

After you’ve 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.)
