Notes on Using This Connection
About Using This Connection with Dual Picture (Twin View, etc.) Features
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 dual picture
features. If some of your channels are scrambled, but others are not, consider using
the “Cable Box and Cable” connection on page 31 instead.
