For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable with Scrambled Premium Channels

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.

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.
