Installing the TV
15
Connecting a VCR and Cable Box
Use this hookup if:
❑
Your cable TV company scrambles some channels, but not all of
them (pay channels vs. regular cable channels) and you therefore
need to use a cable box, and
❑
You want to enjoy the PIP feature.
With this setup you can:
❑
Use the TV remote control to change cable box channels when the
signal is scrambled.
❑
Use the TV remote control to change TV channels when the
signal is not scrambled. (Your TV’s tuner provides a better signal
than the cable box.)
❑
Use the PIP feature. (When all channels are routed through the
cable box, only one signal is sent to the TV, so you cannot use the
PIP feature.)
1
Connect the Cable TV cable to the TV’s VHF/UHF jack.
2
Using a coaxial cable, connect the TV’s TO CONVERTER jack to
the cable box’s IN jack. The TV’s internal converter allows you to
switch between unscrambled signals coming straight into the TV
and scrambled signals coming in through the cable box. This
eliminates the need for an external splitter.
3
Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box’s OUT jack to the
VCR’s IN jack.
4
Using an A/V cable, connect the VCR’s Audio and Video OUT
jacks to the TV’s Audio and Video IN jacks.
5
Using a coaxial cable, connect the VCR’s OUT jack to the TV’s
AUX jack.
✍
This connection applies to all models except KV-36FS12.
✍
To view scrambled channels, set your TV to AUX 3 or 4 (depending on your
cable box output). Change channels using your cable box.
