Installing the TV | (Continued from the previous page) |
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, eliminating the need for an external splitter.
3Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box’s OUT jack to the
TV’s AUX jack.

❑Press the ANT button on the TV remote control. (This is a toggle: pressing the button once selects the cable box; pressing the button again selects regular cable.)
To use the cable box
❑Have your TV tuner set to channel 3 or 4 (as appropriate) and then use the cable box to switch channels.
To use the TV remote control to switch channels on the cable box
❑Program the remote control as necessary. (See “Programming the Remote Control” on page 52.) Then use the remote control to switch cable box channels.
To use the TV remote control to switch channels on the VCR
❑Program the remote control as necessary. (By default, the remote control is set for a Sony VCR; to change to another brand see “Programming the Remote Control” on page 52.) Then use the VCR buttons on the remote control to switch channels on the VCR.
To prevent the accidental switching of TV channels
❑When using the cable box, you need your TV to stay on a required channel (usually channel 3 or 4). You can use the TV’s Channel Fix feature to lock in a specific channel. The Channel Fix feature is under the Channel menu. For details, see “Using the Channel Menu” on page 42.
