Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels
If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow
the instructions below. You will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four
lengths of coaxial cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)
1
Find and disconnect the
cable that is connected to
the ANTENNA IN
terminal on your cable box.
œ This terminal might be labelled
“ANT IN”, “VHF IN” or simply,
“IN”.
2
Connect this cable to a two-
way splitter.
Connect a coaxial cable
between an OUTPUT
terminal on the splitter and
the IN terminal on the cable
box.

3
Connect a coaxial cable
between the ANTENNA OUT
terminal on the cable box
and the B–IN terminal on the
RF(A/B) switch.
4
Connect another cable
between the other OUT
terminal on the splitter
and the A–IN terminal on
the RF (A/B) switch.
5
Connect the last coaxial
cable between the OUT
terminal on the RF (A/B)
switch and the “VHF/UHF”
terminal on the rear panel.
After you’ve made this connection, set the A/B switch to the “A” position for normal
viewing. Set the A/B switch to the “B” position to view scrambled channels. (When you set
the A/B switch to “B”, you will need to tune your TV to the cable box’s output channel,
which is usually channel 3 or 4.)
