Cable Box and
Antenna 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 34 and 35.)
With this connection you can:
❑ Use the TV’s remote control to change channels coming through the
cable box to the TV’s CABLE input. (You must first program the
remote control for your specific cable box; see “Programming the
Remote Control” on page 47.)
❑ Use the TV’s remote control to change channels coming directly into
the TV’s VHF/UHF input jack.
Notes on Using This Connection
Before connecting a cable
box, see “Using
