Connecting the TV to a home antenna terminal
Cable TV (CATV) connection
- A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75-ohm
coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the antenna input terminal (ANT-IN).
- Some cable TV companies offer "premium pay channels". Since the signals of these premium pay
channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by
the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled
channels. (Set your TV to channel 3 or 4, typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown,
consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your
cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your cable
TV company is explained below.
Please note: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (commercially available).
"A" position on the RF switch (commercially available): You can view all unscrambled channels by
"B" position on the RF switch (commercially available): You can view the scrambled channels via the
RF switch (commercially available)
