Installing the TV
Connecting a VCR and Cable Box
Use this hookup if:
❑Your cable TV company scrambles some channels, but not all of them (pay channels vs. regular cable channels) and you therefore need to use a cable box, and
❑You want to enjoy the PIP feature.
✍This connection applies to all models except
With this setup you can:
❑Use the TV remote control to change cable box channels when the signal is scrambled.
❑Use the TV remote control to change TV channels when the signal is not scrambled. (Your TV’s tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)
❑Use the PIP feature. (When all channels are routed through the cable box, only one signal is sent to the TV, so you cannot use the PIP feature.)
1Connect the Cable TV cable to the TV’s VHF/UHF jack.
2Using a coaxial cable, connect the TV’s TO CONVERTER jack to the cable box’s IN jack. The TV’s internal converter allows you to switch between unscrambled signals coming straight into the TV and scrambled signals coming in through the cable box. This eliminates the need for an external splitter.
3Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box’s OUT jack to the VCR’s IN jack.
4Using an A/V cable, connect the VCR’s Audio and Video OUT jacks to the TV’s Audio and Video IN jacks.
5Using a coaxial cable, connect the VCR’s OUT jack to the TV’s AUX jack.
✍To view scrambled channels, set your TV to AUX 3 or 4 (depending on your cable box output). Change channels using your cable box.
