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 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
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 LCD
projection TV’s VHF/UHF jack.
3 Run Auto Program, as described in “Setting Up the LCD Projection TV
Channel List” on pages 54.
Notes on Using This Connection
Before connecting a cable
box, see “Using
CableCARD” on page 52.
With this connection, all channels come into the LCD projection TV
through your cable box and only one unscrambled signal is sent to the
LCD projection 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 Cable” connection on page 31 instead.
