If you subscribe to a cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the
use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal splitter and an A/B switch box (available from the
cable company 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 unit. With the switch in the "A" position, tune your
unit to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box
to tune scrambled channels.
