Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels

If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the
instructions below. You will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths of
coaxial cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)
1
Find and disconnect the
cable that is connected
to the ANTENNA IN
terminal on your cable
box.
2
Connect this cable to a
two-way splitter.
Connect a coaxial cable
between an OUTPUT
terminal on the splitter
and the IN terminal on
the cable box.
3
Connect a coaxial cable
between the ANTENNA
OUT terminal on the
cable box and the B–IN
terminal on the A/B
switch.
4
Connect another cable
between the other OUT
terminal on the splitter
and the A–IN terminal on
the RF (A/B) switch.
5
Connect the last coaxial
cable between the OUT
terminal on the RF (A/B)
switch and the VHF/UHF
terminal on the rear of
the TV.
After you've made this connection, set the A/B switch to the "A" position for normal
viewing. Set the A/B switch to the "B" position to view scrambled channels. (When you set
the A/B switch to "B," you will need to tune your TV to the cable box' s output channel,
which is usually channel 3 or 4.)
