Cable Tv Connections - Toshiba MW20FM1 Owner's Manual

ble TV Connections
This unit has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV Converter box. Some
cable companies offer "premium pay channels" in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal
viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable company.

Converter/Descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal Splitter and an A/B Switch box (available from the Cable company
or an electronics supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the "B" position, you can directly tune
any nonscrambled channels on your unit. With the switch in the "A" position, tune your unit to the output of the Converter/
Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the ConverteriDescrambler box to tune scrambled channels.
