For subscribers to scrambled Cable TV service

If you subscribe to a Cable TV service which requires the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the

incoming 75 ohm coaxial cable to the Converter/Descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm coaxial cable, connect

the output jack of the Converter/Descrambler box to the RF IN jack on the unit. Follow the connections shown

below. Set the unit to the output channel of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the

Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.

For subscribers to unscrambled basic Cable TV service with scrambled premium

channels

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 TV 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.

This unit has an extended tuning range and can tune most Cable TV channels without using a Cable

TV Converter box. Some Cable TV 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 TV company.
