With this connection you can:

Use the SXRD projection TV’s remote control to change channels coming through the cable box to the SXRD projection TV’s VHF/UHF jack. (You must first program the remote control for your specific cable box.)

With this connection, all channels come into the SXRD projection TV through your cable box and only one unscrambled signal is sent to the SXRD projection 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 Antenna” connection on page 37 instead.
