Cable box and cable

Some pay cable TV systems use scrambled or

certain channels (e.g. HBO, SHOWTIME, etc.)

For this set up, you can switch between
scrambled channels (through your cable box),
and normal (CATV) channels by pressing
ANT on your remote control.
Notes:

remote control to operate your cable box.
(see “Operating a Cable Box or Satellite

can only be viewed in the main picture.

Select Cable or ANT mode by pressing ANT
