Connecting to cable television

This television has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a cable television converter box. Some cable television companies offer premium pay channels in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable television company.

If you subscribe to a cable television 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 television company or an electronics supply store). Follow the connections shown above. With the switch in the B position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your television. With the switch in the A position, tune your television to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.

Connecting to other equipment

The exact arrangement you use to interconnect various video and audio components to the television is dependent on the model and features of each component. Check the owner's manual provided with each component for the location of video and audio inputs and outputs.

The following connection diagrams are offered as suggestions. You may need to modify them to accommodate your particular assortment of components. The diagrams are intended to show component video and audio interconnections only.
