ohm matching transformer (not supplied), then connect the trans-
former to the combiner.
For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service
For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler
box, connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable directly to the
antenna jack on the back of the television.
For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service
If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use of a
converter/descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to the
converteddescrambler box and connect the output of the box to
the antenna jack on the back of the television. Follow the
connections shown left. Set the television to the output of the
converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the
converteddescrambler box to select channels.
For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable with
Scrambled Premium Channels
If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels
are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a
conver ter/descrambler box, you may wish to use a two-set signal
splitter (sometimes called a "two-set coupler") and an NB switch
box from the cable installer or an electronics supply store. Follow
the connections shown left. With the switch in the "B" position, you
can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV. With
the switch in the "A" position, tune your TV to the output of the
converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the
box to tune scrambled channels.
This television has an extended tuning range and can tune most
cable channels without using a cable company supplied
converter box. 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 which is generally provided by the cable company.
CONNECTION TO OTHER EQUIPMENT
The exact arrangement you use to interconnect various video and audio components to the TV is dependent on the model and features
of each component. Check the Owner's Manual provided with each component for the location of video and audio inputs and outputs.
The following connection diagrams are offered as suggestions. You may need to modify them to accommodate your particular
assortment of components.

games. However, due to the wide variety of different types of
signal generated by these devices and subsequent hook-up
variations required, they have not all been included in the
