Connecting Cable TV

To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.

Cable without a Cable Box
1. Plug the incoming cable into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.

Because this TV is cable-ready, you do not need a cable box to view

unscrambled cable channels.

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels
1. Find the cable that is connected to the ANT OUT terminal on your cable box.

This terminal might be labeled “ANT OUT”, “VHF OUT” or simply, “OUT”.

2. Connect the other end of this cable to the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels
If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the instructions below. You will need

a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch and four lengths of RF cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)
1. Find and disconnect the cable that is

connected to the ANT IN terminal on

your cable box.

This terminal might be labeled

“ANT IN”, “VHF IN” or simply, “IN”.

2. Connect this cable to a two-way

splitter.

3. Connect an RF cable between the

OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and

the IN terminal on the cable box.

4. Connect an RF cable between the

ANT OUT terminal on the cable box

and the B–IN terminal on the RF(A/B)

switch.

5. Connect another cable between the

other OUT terminal on the splitter and

the A–IN terminal on the RF (A/B)

switch.

6. Connect the last RF cable between

the OUT terminal on the RF (A/B)

switch and the ANT IN terminal on the

rear of the TV.

After you have made this connection, set the A/B switch to the “A” position for normal viewing. Set the A/B switch to the “B”

position to view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B switch to “B”, you will need to tune your TV to the cable box’s

output channel, which is usually channel 3 or 4.)
