Use the TV remote control to change channels coming through
the cable box to the TV's VHF/UHF jack. (You must first
program the remote control for your specific cable box.)
About Using This Connection with Dual Picture (Twin View, etc.) Features
With this connection, all channels come into the TV through your cable box and only one
unscrambled signal is sent to the TV, so you cannot use the dual picture features. If some
of your channels are scrambled, but others are not, consider using the "Cable Box and
Cable" connection on page 22 instead.

2
Use a coaxial cable to connect the cable box's output jack to the
