Connecting Cable TV

If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the instructions below. You will
need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch and four lengths of coaxial cable. (These items are available at most
electronics stores.)
After you’ve made this connection, set the A/B switch to the “A” position for normal viewing. Set the A/B switch to the
“B” position to view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B switch to “B”, you will need to tune your TV to the
cable box’s output channel, which is usually channel 3 or 4.)
