Connecting Cable Box
(Basic)
Use this connection if you have a cable system and your cable company
scrambles some channels, such as premium channels or all channels (which
requires you to use a cable box).
Connect the CATV cable to the cable box’s input jack. Then use a coaxial
cable to connect the cable box’s output jack to the TV’s RF input jack.
If the cable box has audio/video or S-Video jacks, connect your TV to them for
better picture quality and stereo sound.
Note: Sound will be in mono only from the RF output jack of most cable

Cable Box
(Best)
Connect the RF coaxial cable from the cable wall outlet to the input of the
digital cable box.
Use a component video cable to connect the YPbPr jacks of your digital cable
box to the TV’s component jacks.
Component video connection is necessary to view high-definition digital
broadcasting in 1080i, 720p, 480i and 480p. This TV displays most format
types of picture.
The component jacks do not provide audio, so audio cables must be
connected to provide sound.
