Your new TV is designed
to receive up
to 181 channels
in the U.S.A. including
125 non-scrambled
cable channels
(see
chart below).
To use this TV on a cable-
TV system, confirm
that the cable-TV
system is properly
connected
to your TV.
Since cable systems
vary, you may wish
to consult
your local cable-TV
company
tor additional
information.
If your cable-TV
company
follows
EIA/NCTA
channel-identification
standards,
most of the channels
offered
by your cable company
will be identified
by channel
numbers
that are identical
to
those on your TV. For example,
if your
cable-TV
system has programs
on cable
channel
20, you can choose this channel
by selecting
channel
20 on your TV.
If your cable company
offers cable
channels
90, 9 l, or 92 you can tune them
by selecting
the TV channels
shown
below.
Some cable-TV
companies
do not follow
the EIA/NCTA
standards
and instead
assign their own channel
identification.
For example,
some use the standard
broadcast
channel
numbers
(2-13) for
channels
2-13, but identify their other
channels
with letters.
If your cable
company
does not follow the EIA/NCTA
standards,
ask them for a cross reference
that shows to which channels
you should
tune your TV to receive their cable-TV
channels.
Not all cable-TV
channels
will be active
on your particular
cable-TV
system.
Also some cable companies
may require
the use of a decoder
with their cable-TV
system.
Consult your cable company
or
local dealer for details.
Scrambled
Cable-TV
Channels
Some cable companies
offer "premium-
pay" channels
in which the signal is
scrambled.
Descrambling
these signals
for normal viewing requires
the use of a
descrambler
device (cable box) which is
generally
provided
by the cable
company.
How you connect
the cable box to your
TV depends
upon whether
or not the
cable box can be controlled
by remote
control.
The TV's remote can also
control most brands of cable boxes, so if
your cable box is remote
controllable,
you may want to connect
it as shown in
Diagram
B on page 31 or Diagram
D on
page 32. Instructions
for programming
the TV's remote
to control the cable box
are on page 33.
If your cable box cannot be controlled
by
remote control, you will still be able to
remotely
control "unscrambled"
channels
with the connection
shown in
Diagram
C on page 31 or Diagram
D on
page 32.
Since cable systems vary, you may wish
to consult
your local cable company
for
additional
information.

** VHF is only counted once in total channel count because you can receive channels 2-13 on
both "off-air" and "cable" channels. Therefore the total channel count for "off-air" and
"cable" is 181 channels (68+125-12=181).
*** Channels
95, 96, and 97 are not applicable
in Canada.
Therefore
the total number
of
channels
for Canada
is 178 (68+122-12=178).
