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 to ANT B,
simply press the ANTENNA button on the remote. Each
time you press the ANTENNA 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.

whenever the channel numbersare 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).
