To connect the cable box and cable
1 Connect the cable from your cable company to the TV’s
VHF/UHF jack.
2 Use a coaxial cable to connect the TV’s TO CONVERTER jack to
the cable box’s input jack. (The TV’s internal converter lets you
switch between unscrambled signals coming straight into the TV
and scrambled signals coming in through the cable box,
eliminating the need for an external splitter.)
3 Use a coaxial cable to connect the cable box’s output jack to the
TV’s AUX jack.
4 Run the Auto Setup program, as described in “Setting Up the
Channel List” on page 38.
