Connecting to a cable converter box
This television has an extended tuning range and can tune into most cable channels without using a cable
company supplied converter box. Some cable companies offer premium pay channels in which the signal is
scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which
is generally provided by the cable company.
For subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service
For basic cable service, you do not require a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm Coaxial
Cable directly to the Antenna Jack on the back of the television.
For subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service
If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the
incoming cable to the Converter/Descrambler box and connect the output of the box to the Antenna Jack
on the back of the television. Follow the connections shown below. Set the television to the output of the
Converter/Descrambler box(usually channel 3 or 4)and use the Converter/Descrambler box remote control
to selectchannels.
For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable with Scrambled Premium Channels
If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are unscrambled and premium channels
require the use of a Converter/Descrambled box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter(sometimes
called[two set coupler) and an A/B Switch box from the cable installer or an electronics supply store.
Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the B position, you can directly tune into any
nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in theA position, tune your TV to the output of the
Converter/Descrambler box(usually channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune into scrambled channels.
Note:
When you use a converter box with your TV, there may be TV features that you cannot
access using the remote control that's provided with the converter box. Therefore keep
the TV remote handy.
