Cable Box and Cable Only

Before connecting a cable box, see “About Using CableCARD” on page 16.

For best results, use this connection if:

Your cable company scrambles some channels, such as premium channels (which requires you to use a cable box), but does not scramble all channels.

You do not have a VCR. (If you have a VCR, see pages 23 and 24.)

With this connection you can:

Use the TV remote control to change channels coming through the cable box to the TV’s VHF/UHF input jack. (You must first program the remote control for your specific cable box; see “Programming the Remote Control” on page 49.)

Use the TV remote control to change channels coming directly into the TV’s CABLE input. (The TV’s tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)
