NOTE:

If your devices have different connectors than those shown, use the highest-quality video connection available. Observe the color-coding on all connectors.

For digital cable, your set-top cable box (STB) might require a special two-direction splitter. Contact your cable provider for information. Or you can omit the splitter and omit the connection to the television cable input.

If all channels are scrambled, connect the incoming cable directly to the cable box (omit the splitter and omit the connection to the television cable input).

You can eliminate the cable box if your cable provider can install a CableCARD module in the television. See “Installing a CableCARD Module” on page 19.
