A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75- ohm coaxial cable to the set,
screw the 75-ohm cable to the ANT. Terminal.
Some cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels”. Since the signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled, a
cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company.
This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. For more specific instructions on
installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by
your cable TV company is explained below. Please note: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (not
supplied).
“A” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view all unscrambled channels by using the TV’s channel keys.
“B” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/descrambler by using
the converter’s channel keys.
