Set the Output Channel switch on the back of the cable box to CH 3 or 4 (whichever is correct for your cable box), then tune the TV to the corresponding channel. Once tuned, change channels at the cable box, not the TV.

Making Basic Connections to the TV

Cable Box with RF IN/OUT

1 Connect the incoming cable TV signal to the CABLE IN jack on the back of the cable box.

2 Connect a coaxial cable (not supplied) to the TO TV jack on the back of the cable box and to the TUNER jack on the back of the TV.

3

NOTE: This connection will not supply stereo sound to the TV. The reason is that the RF output on a cable box—labeled “TO TV,” “OUT,” or “OUTPUT,” for example—will not send a stereo signal to the tuner (VHF/UHF) input on a TV.

Cable Box with A/V Outputs

1 Connect the incoming cable TV signal to a signal splitter (not supplied).

The signal splitter enables you to avoid having to use the TO TV jack on the back of the cable box. This jack will not supply stereo sound to the TV.

NOTE: Your cable box may have a different label for the TO TV jack, such as OUTPUT or OUT.

2 Connect a coaxial cable (not supplied) to a connector on the signal splitter and to the TUNER jack on the TV.

3 Connect a coaxial cable (not supplied) to a connector on the signal splitter and to the CABLE IN jack on the back of the cable box.

4 Connect A/V cables (not supplied) to the VIDEO and AUDIO L and R outputs on the back of the cable box and to the AV2 video (labeled V) and audio (labeled L and R) jacks on the back of the TV.

5 To view programs from your cable box, first press the Source button on the remote control.

6 Press the Cursor Down or Up buttons until the AV2 signal source is selected.

7 Press the OK button to confirm your selection. The AV2 input source becomes current for the viewing of cable TV programs through your cable box.

HELPFUL HINT

Your TV remote is capable of operating accessory devices such as cable boxes. See the sections on “Programming the Remote Control” and “Operating Accessory Devices with the TV Remote” in the Directions for Use manual that came with the TV.

NOTE: If your cable box Audio/Video outputs will not supply video and stereo audio to the TV, you will need to make the connection shown above in the example “Cable Box with RF IN/OUT.”

Watching Cable TV Programs That

Don’t Require the Cable Box

Since you’ve connected the cable TV signal directly to the TV’s tuner (step 2 above), you can also watch the unscrambled pro- grams by simply tuning to the desired channel. You must first use Autoprogram, however, to store channels in the TV’s memory. See page 8.

NOTE: This connection will supply stereo sound to the TV if it is being broadcast by the station you are watching.
