You can connect the cable-TV system to either ANTA or ANT B as explained on page 25.

Scrambled Cable-TV Channels
Some cable-TV decoders require that you manually switch
from regular to scrambled channels on the decoder
whenever you wish to view the premium pay channels.
By connecting the decoder to the ANTA input and
CONVERTER output on the TV as shown here, you can
switch between the scrambled and unscrambled channels
using the remote control.
To change the incoming signal from ANTA toANT B,
simply press the ANT (Antenna) button on the remote. Each
time you press the ANT button, the channel numbers will
change color on the screen to show which antenna signal
you are watching.
*Optional accessories are available from most RCA dealers and
electronics supply stores.

Nonscrambled cable channels will come thru the ANTB input
whenever the channel numbers are yellow. The scrambled
channel from the decoder box will come thru the ANTA input
whenever the channel numbers are blue. Be sure to leave the
decoder box set to the scrambled channel, and remember to
tune your TV to the output channel of the converter box
(usually 2, 3, or 4). 33
