FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO SCRAMBLED CABLE TV SERVICE

75 ohm
Coaxial Cable
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 TV/DVD. With the switch in the A position, tune
your TV/DVD to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/
Descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.

This TV/DVD has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable
TV Converter box. Some cable 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 company.
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 Antenna Jack on the TV/DVD. Follow the
connections shown below. Set the TV/DVD to the output channel of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually
channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.
