ible TV connections
This TV/DVD has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV 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.

For subscribers to unscrambled basic cable TV service with scrambled
premium channels
If you subscribe to a cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require
the use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal splitter and an
AlB
Switch box (available
from the cable company or an electronics supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in
the
"B"
position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV/DVD. With the switch in the "A"
position, tune your TV/DVD to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the
converter/descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.
