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 41 and 42.)
With this connection you can:
❑
Use the SXRD projection TV’s remote control to change channels
coming through the cable box to the SXRD projection 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 SXRD
projection TV’s VHF/UHF jack.
3
Run Auto Program, as described in “Setting Up the SXRD Projection
TV Channel List” on page 60.

With this connection, all channels come into the SXRD projection TV
through your cable box and only one unscrambled signal is sent to the
SXRD projection 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 Antenna” connection on page 37 instead.
