Incoming CATV
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.

CATV CONNECTIONS
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
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.
