CATV (CABLE TV) Connections
Many cable companies offer services permitting reception of
extra channels including pay or subscription channels. The main
unit has an extended tuning range and can be tuned to most
cable channels without using a cable company supplied converter
box, except for those channels which are intentionally scrambled.
If you subscribe to a special channel which is scrambled, you
must have a descrambler box for proper reception.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the TV/CATV menu option is set to the “CATV” mode.
This unit cannot receive scrambled programs since it does not
contain a descrambler. In order to receive scrambled programs,
your existing descrambler must be used. Descrambler boxes are
available from cable companies. Consult your local cable company
for more information concerning connection to their descrambler
equipment. There are many ways to connect your unit to a cable
system. Below are six common methods of connection.
