Cable Box Connections
The connection method differs, depending on the type of cable box you have. Your cable box
may unscramble signals for all of your channels or it may unscramble only some of them.
If you’ll also be attaching a VCR to the TV, you need to use a different connection method so
you can record TV programs. See “VCR and Cable Box Connection” on page 25.
Cable Box Unscrambles All Channels
If your cable box unscrambles signals for all of your channels, connect it as follows:
1 Connect the cable coming into the house to the IN connector on the cable box.
2 Connect one end of a coaxial cable to the OUT connector on the cable box.
3 Connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the ANT 1 connector on the back of the
TV.
If your coaxial cable has a screw-type connector on the end, secure it by turning the end
clockwise.
Note
Before connecting a cable
box to the TV, be sure to
read any instructions that
came with the cable box.
