NOTE: A cable box with AUDIO OUT jacks
such as the one used in the example on this
page might pass stereo sound to the TV. Check
with your cable TV company. The RF jack out-
put jack on a cable box (commonly labeled
“OUT TO TV,” “OUTPUT,” or “OUT”) will
not pass stereo sound to your TV.
1
Connect the incoming cable TV signal
to a two-way signal splitter. The signal
splitter enables you to route the cable
signal to the TV without using the
OUT TO TV jack on the cable box,
which will not pass stereo sound to the
TV.
2
Using a coaxial cable, connect one of
the connectors on the signal splitter to
the ANTENNA IN 75Ω jack on the
back of the TV.
3
Using a coaxial cable, connect the
other connector on the signal splitter to
the CABLE IN jack on the back of the
cable box.
4
Using Audio/Video cables, connect the
AUDIO and VIDEO OUT jacks on the
back of the cable box and to the corre-
sponding AUDIO and VIDEO IN jacks
on the back of the VCR.
5
Using Audio/Video cables, connect the
AUDIO and VIDEO OUT jacks on the
back of the VCR to the corresponding
AV2 audio (L and R) and video (V)
input jacks on the back of the TV.
6
Press the Source button on the remote
control to access the Source list.
7
Press the Cursor Up or Down button to
select the AV2 input source.
8
Press the OK button to confirm your
choice. The set is now switched to the
AV2 input source for the viewing of pro-
grams from the cable box or the VCR.

NOTE: You can watch the unscram-
bled cable programs by simply tun-
ing to the desired channel. To store
channels in the TV’s memory, you
must use Autoprogram, which you
can access through “Install” in the
TV’s on-screen menu. See the
Autoprogram section in the Quick
Use and Setup Guide that came with
the TV. If you use Autoprogram,
you can select channels by pressing
the CH + or – buttons on the TV
remote control (in TV mode).
Otherwise, you must press the digit
(number) buttons to tune directly to
the channel you desire.
Color Coding Used on Jacks and Plugs to
simplify connections:
