(unscrambled channels)

For this set up, you can switch between scrambled channels (through your cable box), and normal (CATV) channels by pressing ANT on your remote control.

Notes:

You may be able to program your Sony remote control to operate your cable box. (see “Operating a Cable Box or Satellite Receiver (SAT)” on page 56)

During PIP, P&P, CHANNEL INDEX or FAVORITE CHANNEL viewing, the AUX input can only be viewed in the main picture.

If you are connecting a cable box through the AUX input and would like to switch between the AUX and normal (CATV) input, you should consider using CHANNEL FIX. (see “CHANNEL FIX” on page 42)
