Cable-TV
Channels
Some cable-TV decoders require that you manually switch
from regular to scrambled channels on the decoder
whenever you wish to view the premium pay channels.
By connecting the decoder to the ANTA input and
CONVERTER output on the TV as shown here, you can
switch between the scrambled and unscrambled channels
using the remote control.
To change the incoming signal from ANTA to ANT B,
simply press the ANT (Antenna) button on the remote. Each
time you press the ANT button, the channel numbers will
change color on the screen to show which antenna signal
you are watching.
* Optional
accessories
are available
from most RCA dealers
and
electronics
supply stores.
