Cable Box For best results, use this connection if:
❑
Your cable company scrambles all channels, which requires you to use a
cable box.
❑ You do not have a VCR. (If you have a VCR, see pages 37 and 38.)
With this connection you can:
❑
Use the TV’s remote control to change channels coming through the
cable box to the TV’s VHF/UHF jack. (You must first program the
remote control for your specific cable box.)
To connect the cable box
1 Connect the CATV cable to the cable box’s input jack.
2 Use a coaxial cable to connect the cable box’s output jack to the TV’s
VHF/UHF jack.
3 Run Auto Program, as described in “Setting Up the TV Channel List”
on page 59.
Notes on Using This Connection
Before connecting a cable
box, see “Using
CableCARD” on page 57.
✍ With this connection, all channels come into the TV through your cable
box and only one unscrambled signal is sent to the TV, so you cannot
use the dual picture features. If some of your channels are scrambled,
but others are not, consider using the “Cable Box and Antenna”
connection on page 33 instead.
