Cable Box Only

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.)

About Using This Connection with Dual Picture (Twin View, etc.) Features

With this connection, all channels come into the TV through your cable box and only one unscrambled signal is sent to the TV, so you cannot use the dual picture features. If some of your channels are scrambled, but others are not, consider using the “Cable Box and Cable” connection on page 21 instead.

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.

3Run the Auto Setup program, as described in “ Setting Up the Channel List” on page 41.
