scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable company.

For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service

For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable directly to the antenna jack on the back of the television.

For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service

If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to the converter/ descrambler box and connect the output of the box to the antenna jack on the back of the television. Follow the connections shown left. Set the television to the output 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 with Scrambled Premium Channels

If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a converter/ descrambler box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter (sometimes called a "two-set coupler") and an A/B switch box from the cable installer or an electronics supply store. Follow the connections shown left. With the switch in the "B" position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the "A" position, tune your TV to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.

CONNECTION TO OTHER EQUIPMENT

The exact arrangement you use to interconnect various video and audio components to the TV 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 connection diagrams below are offered as suggestions. You may need to modify them to accommodate your particular assortment of compo- nents. The diagrams are intended to show component video and audio interconnections only.

NOTE: If using a monaural video and audio components, connect AUDIO IN (L/MONO) jack to AUDIO OUT using only one audio cable.
