Preparation for using your new TV
Connecting to a cabme converter box
This television has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a cable 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.
For subscribers to basic cabUe TV service
For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm Coaxial Cable
directly into the Antenna lack on the back of the television.
For subscribers t.o scrambled cable TV service
If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use of a Converter/Descrambier box, connect the incoming
cable to the Converter/Descrambler box and connect the output of the box to the Antenna ]ack on the back of
the television. Follow the connections as shown below. Set the television to the output of the
Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.
Fer subscribers to unscrarnbUed basic cabme with scrambled premiurn channeUs
If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are unscrambled and premium channels require
the use of a Converter/Descrambled box, you may wish to use a two=set signal splitter (sometimes referred to
as a two=set coupler) and an A/B Switch box from the cable installer or an electronics supply store. Follow the
connections shown below. With the switch in the B position, you can directly tune any unscrambled channels on
your TV. With the switch in the A position, you can tune your TV to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box
(usually channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.
