• A 75 ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75
ohm coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75 ohm cable to the COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR.
• Some cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels”. Since the signals of these premium
pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the
subscriber by the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing
of the scrambled channels. (Set your TV on channel 3 or 4. Typically one of these channels is
used. If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions on
installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the
converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below.
Please note: RF switch equipped with position A/B (not provided) is required.
“A” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view all unscrambled channels using
the TV’s channel keys.
“B” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view the scrambled channels via the
converter/descrambler using the converter’s
channel keys.
