Cable Box and
Cable Only
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 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 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.)
