Cable TV (CATV) Connection

NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installers attention to Article 820-40
of the National Electrical Code (NEC) that provides guidelines for proper grounding
and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding
system of the building accurately, or as close to the point of cable entry as possible.
Use of this TV for other than private viewing of programs broadcasted on UHF, VHF
or transmitted by cable companies for the use of the general public may require
authorization from the broadcast/cable company, and/or program owner.

A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup.
When connecting the 75-ohm coaxial cable to the set, place the 75-ohm cable into
the ANT. terminal.

Some cable TV companies o er 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 scrambled channels.
(Set your TV to channel 3 or 4, typically one of these channels are used.
If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company.)
For more speci c instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company,
One possible method of utilizing the coverter/descrambler provided
by your cable TV company is explained below.
