Connect the 75 ohm cable from the VHF antenna and
the UHF antenna twin-lead to a combiner (not

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 converter/descrambler 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 converter / descrambler 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 converter/descrambler
box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter (
sometimes called a two-set coupler )and an A/B
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.
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.
