Cable Box and Cable
This is the preferred basic cable TV hookup to use if:
❑
Your cable TV company scrambles some channels, but not all of them (pay
channels vs. regular cable channels) and you need to use a cable box, and
❑
You want to enjoy the Twin View feature.
With this setup you can:
❑
Use the projection TV remote control to change channels using your
cable box when the signal is scrambled.
❑
Use the projection TV remote control to change channels using your
projection TV when the signal is not scrambled. (Your projection TV's
tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)
❑
Use the Twin View feature. (When all channels are routed through your
cable box, only one channel is sent to the projection TV, so you can not
use the Twin View or Channel Index features for your cable box.)
✍
DIGITAL CABLE BOX USERS: Do not use this connection. The TO
CONVERTER jack is not compatible with digital cable boxes.
1
Connect the Cable TV cable to the projection TV's VHF/UHF jack.
2
Using a coaxial cable, connect the projection TV's TO CONVERTER
jack to the cable box's IN jack. The projection TV's internal converter
allows you to switch between unscrambled signals coming straight into
the projection TV and scrambled signals coming in through the cable
box, eliminating the need for an external splitter.
3
Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box's OUT jack to the
projection TV's AUX jack.
