Cable Box and Cable For best results, use this connection if:
❑
Your cable company scrambles some channels, such as premium
channels (which requires you to use a cable box), but does not scramble
all channels.
❑ You do not have a VCR. (If you have a VCR, see pages 35 and 36.)
With this connection you can:
❑
Use the LCD projection TV’s remote control to change channels
coming through the cable box to the LCD projection TV’s VHF/UHF
input jack. (You must first program the remote control for your specific
cable box; see “Programming the Remote Control” on page 58.)
❑ Use the LCD projection TV’s remote control to change channels
coming directly into the LCD projection TV’s CABLE input. (The LCD
projection TV’s tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)
❑ Use all the dual picture features for unscrambled channels coming
directly into the LCD projection TV’s CABLE input jack.
