For best results, use this connection if:
s 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.
With this connection you can:
s Use the TV's remote control to change channels on your cable box
when the signal is scrambled. To program your Sony remote control to
operate your cable box, see "Programming the Remote Control" on
page 44.
s Use the TV's remote control to change channels on your TV when the
signal is not scrambled. Your TV's tuner provides a better signal than
the cable box.
