For best results, use this connection if:
❑
Your cable company scrambles all channels, which requires you
to use a cable box.
❑
You do not have a VCR. (If you have a VCR, see pages 22 and 24.)
With this connection you can:
❑
Use the TV remote control to change channels coming through
the cable box to the TV’s VHF/UHF jack. (You must first
program the remote control for your specific cable box.)
To connect the cable box
1
Connect the CATV cable to the cable box’s input jack.
2
Use a coaxial cable to connect the cable box’s output jack to the
TV’s VHF/UHF jack.
3
Run the Auto Setup program, as described in “Setting Up the
Channel List” on page 38.
Notes on Using This Connection
About Using Twin View with This Connection
With this connection, all channels come into the TV through your cable box and only one
unscrambled signal is sent to the TV, so you cannot use the Twin View feature. If some of
your channels are scrambled, but others are not, consider using the “Cable Box and
Cable” connection on page 18 instead. For details about Twin View, see page 46.
