This television has an extended tuning range
and can tune most cable channels without
using a cable company supplied converter
box. Some cable companies offer "premium
pay channels" in which the signal is
scrambled. Descrambling these signals for
normal viewing requires the use of a
descrambler device which is generally
provided by the cable company.

ANTENNA/CATV CONNECTIONS

For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service

For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable directly to the antenna jack on the
back of the television.

For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service

If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to the converter/
descrambler box and connect the output of the box to the antenna jack on the back of the television. Follow the connections shown left. Set the
television to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box to select channels.

For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable with Scrambled Premium Channels

If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a converter/
descrambler box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter (sometimes called a "two-set coupler") and an A/B switch box from the cable
installer or an electronics supply store. Follow the connections shown left. 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 box to tune scrambled channels.

If you connect the TV to a VCR, camcorder or TV game, through the
audio/video in jacks, use the TV/VIDEO to make your selection.

Press the TV/VIDEO repeatedly to select the desired mode.
“AUX1” or “AUX2” will display on the screen for 4 seconds.

NOTE: TV/VIDEO button only exists in the remote control.

CONNECTION TO OTHER EQUIPMENT

The exact arrangement you use to interconnect various video and audio components to the TV is dependent on the model and features of each
component. Check the Owner's Manual provided with each component for the location of video and audio inputs and outputs.

The connection diagrams below are offered as suggestions. You may need to modify them to accommodate your particular assortment of compo-
nents. The diagrams are intended to show component video and audio interconnections only.

NOTE: If using a monaural video and audio components, connect AUDIO IN (L/MONO) jack to AUDIO OUT using only one audio cable.

To playback from the camcorder, connect the camcorder to the TV as
shown.

3. To connect the TV to a camcorder

Set the TV/AV selection for this connection, to AUX2.

The TV can also be used as a display device for many video games.
However, due to the wide variety of different types of signal generated
by these devices and subsequent hook-up variations required, they
have not all been included in the suggested connection diagrams.
You'll need to consult each component's Owner's Manual for additional
information.
