Cable with a Cable Box that Descrambles Some (But Not All) Channels

To complete this connection you will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four coaxial cables (which you can buy from your Samsung dealer or any electronics store).

Find and disconnect the cable that is

connected to the ANTENNA IN terminal of your Cable box. This terminal might be labeled “ANT IN”, “VHF IN” or simply, “IN”. Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.

Connect a coaxial cable between an

OUT terminal of the splitter and the IN terminal of the Cable box.

Connect a coaxial cable between the

ANTENNA OUT terminal of the Cable box and the B-IN terminal of the RF (A/B) switch.

Connect a coaxial cable between the

other OUT terminal of the Cable box and the A-IN terminal of the RF (A/B) switch.

Connect the last coaxial cable between

the OUT terminal of the RF (A/B) switch and the ANT 1 IN (CABLE IN) on the TV.

After you've made this connection, set the A/B switch to the “A” position for normal viewing. Set the A/B switch to the “B” position to view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B switch to “B”, you will need to tune your Set-Top Box to the Cable box's output channel, which is usually channel 3 or 4.)

Memorizing the Channels

Your TV can memorize and store all of the available channels for both “off-air” (antenna) and cable channels. After the available channels are memorized, use the CH and CH buttons to scan through the channels. This eliminates the need to change channels by entering the channel digits. There are three steps for memorizing channels: selecting a broadcast source, memorizing the channels (automatic) and adding and deleting channels (manual).

Selecting a broadcast source

Before your television can begin memorizing the available channels, you must specify the type of signal source that is connected to the TV (i.e., an antenna or a cable system).

Press the MENU button. Press the ▲ or ▼ button to

select “Channel”, then press the ENTER button.

Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select “Auto Program”,

then press the ENTER button.

Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select the antenna

connection, then press the ENTER button.
