If your cable system requires you to use a converter box for all channels, connect the incoming
cable to the IN terminal on the converter box. Connect another cable between the OUT terminal on
the converter box and the antenna terminal on the TV.
If your cable system only requires you to use a converter box for some channels (i.e. pay-TV
channels), follow these steps: Find the primary incoming coaxial cable. Plug this cable into the
splitter available at your local electronics store). Connect the one coaxial cable between one OUT
terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the converter box. Connect another coaxial cable
between the other OUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on an A/B switch (available at your
local electronics store). Connect a third coaxial cable between the OUT terminal on the converter box
and the A-IN terminal on the A/B switch. Finally, connect a coaxial cable between the OUT terminal
on the A/B switch and the antenna terminal on the back of your TV.
When the A/B switch is in the B position, you need to change channels on the converter box (and
your Tv should be tuned to channel 3 or 4); when the A/B switch is in the A position you can change
channels on the TV.
Connecting Other Pieces of Equipment
You may want to connect a VCR, laser disc player, satellite receiver, or another type of
equipment to your TV. We recommend that you follow the instructions included with the piece
of equipment you wish to connect.
Safety Note
If you plan on being away from your home for an extended peroid of time, or if a thunderstorm
is approaching, you should unplug your television, and you may wish to disconnect your TV
from a roof top or satellite antenna. You do not need to disconnect your TV from a cable
system.
