CABLE (CATV)/SATELLITE CONNECTIONS
This TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV converter box. Some
Cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels” in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal
v
iewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable company.
FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE
For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler box,
connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable to the VHF/UHF jack on the
rear of the TV.
FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO SCRAMBLED CABLE TV SERVICE OR SATELLITE
If you subscribe to a satellite service or a cable TV service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box, connect
the incoming 75 ohm coaxial cable to the converter/descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm cable, connect the output of
the converter/descrambler or satellite box to the antenna jack on the TV. Follow the connections shown below. Set the
TV/VCR to the output channel of the converter/descrambler or satellite box (usually 3 or 4) and use the
converter/descrambler or satellite box to select channels.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO UNSCRAMBLED BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE WITH SCRAMBLED
PREMIUM CHANNELS
If you subscribe to a satellite service or a cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels
require the use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal splitter and an A/B switch box (available from the
cable company or an electronic supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the “B” position, you can
directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the “A” position, tune your TV to the output of the
converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.
FAQ:
I connected my cable, but why can’t I get channels above 69?
Make sure the TV (VHF/UHF Channels)/CATV (Cable TV) option is set to CATV (Cable TV), see page 18. Also, make sure
your cable company broadcasts channels in the range you are searching.
Are the cables included?
No, the cables are sold separately; visit your local electronics store.

RECEIVING ATSC CHANNELS
You can connect to an outdoor antenna to receive the free ATSC digital channels.
The size of the antenna you will need will depend on how far away the television station broadcast antennas are
from you. The further the distance the larger the antenna you need. If your unsure of how far you are you can go
to http://www.antennaweb.org and put in your zip code to search their database for your distance and the direction
of the broadcast antennas. If you’re fairly close you may be able to get away with just a small antenna that will sit
on top of your TV set. If you need a larger antenna you can either put one in the attic or outside on an antenna
mast.
