Follow the instructions for the type of antenna system you intend to use. If using Cable TV (CATV), see bottom of page.
CABLE (CATV)/SATELLITE CONNECTIONS
This unit has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV converter box. Some
Cable TV 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.

or 300 ohm twin-lead wire)
Separate VHF/UHF Antennas
Combination VHF/UHF
Antenna (Separate VHF and
UHF 300 ohm twin-leads)

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE
For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler box,
connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable to the VHF/UHF jack on the
rear of the unit.
FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO SCRAMBLED CABLE TV SERVICE OR SATELLITE
If you subscribe to a satellite service or a cable
TV service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box, connect
the incoming 75 ohm coaxial cable to the converter/descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm cable, connect the output of
the converter/descrambler or satellite box to the antenna jack on the unit. Follow the connections shown below. Set the unit
to the output channel of the converter/descrambler or satellite box (usually 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler or
satellite box to select channels.
