For subscribers to unscrambled basic cable
television service with scrambled premium
channels
If you subscribe to a cable television service in which basic channels are
unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a converter/
descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal splitter and an A/B switch
box (available from the cable television company or an electronics supply
store). Follow the connections shown above.
With the switch in the B position, you can directly tune any
nonscrambled channels on your television. With the switch in the A
position, tune your television to the output of the converter/descrambler
box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box to
tune scrambled channels.
Connecting to other equipment
The exact arrangement you use to interconnect various video and audio
components to the television is dependent on the model and features of
each component. Check the owner's manual provided with each
component for the location of video and audio inputs and outputs.
The following connection diagrams are offered as suggestions. You may
need to modify them to accommodate your particular assortment of
components. The diagrams are intended to show component video and
audio interconnections only.
Selecting the video input source:
1 Press INPUT to view a signal from another device connected to
your television, such as a VCR or DVD player. You can select ANT,
VIDEO1, VIDEO2 (on the front panel), or COMPONENT depending
on which input jacks you used to connect your devices.
2 Press INPUT on the remote control to display the current signal
source. Press the channel
CH + / -- buttons or the 0 through 4
number buttons to select the desired mode.
Connecting the television to a VCR
Connecting the television to a VCR with an
S-Video cord
If you connect a VCR with a S-VIDEO cord to the S-VIDEO IN jack on the
rear of the television, you must also connect the audio cords to the
AUDIO IN jacks on the rear of the television. The S-VIDEO cord only carries
the video signal. The audio signal is separate.
Note:
When the S-video cord and the video cord are connected to each jack at the
same time, the S-video cord takes precedence over the video cord.
Connecting the television to a DVD player or
satellite receiver
If your DVD player or satellite receiver has an S-Video out jack, connect
cords as shown.
Connecting the television to a DVD player with
component video
If your DVD player has component video out jacks, connect your
television to a DVD player using a component video cord. It can greatly
enhance picture quality and performance.
