Setup
To connect the cable box and cable
1 Connect your cable company to the TV’s VHF/UHF jack using the
supplied antenna cable.
2 Use a coaxial cable to connect the TV’s TO CONVERTER jack to the
cable box’s input jack. (The TV’s internal converter lets you switch
between unscrambled signals coming straight into the TV and
scrambled signals coming in through the cable box, eliminating the need
for an external splitter.)
3
Use a coaxial cable to connect the cable box’s output jack to the TV’s
AUX jack.
4
Run the Auto Setup program, as described in “Setting Up the Channel
List” on page 49.
