Connecting Two RF Inputs

Setup

Cable Box Only

SETUP

If you want to watch RF signals for both antenna (over-the-air) and cable broadcast signals, you’ll need to use an optional A-B switch for RF inputs (not supplied), as shown below.

B

Antenna

Use the A-B selector to switch between the over-the-air signals and the cable signals. Then set the Cable setting in the Channel Settings to On or Off, as described on page 40.

✍For best results, be sure to use an RF switch, as shown above, instead of a simple splitter.

For best results, use this connection if:

❑Your cable company scrambles all channels, which requires you to use a cable box.

❑You do not have a VCR. (If you have a VCR, see pages 8 and 9.)

With this connection you can:

❑Use the TV remote control to change channels coming through the cable box to the TV’s VHF/UHF jack. (You must first program the remote control for your specific cable box.)

To connect the cable box

1Connect the CATV cable to the cable box’s input jack.

2Use a coaxial cable to connect the cable box’s output jack to the TV’s VHF/UHF jack.
