Cable Box Only
Before connecting a cable box, see “About Using CableCARD” on page 17.
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 24 and 26.)
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.
