Antenna Connection
CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION
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 75ohm 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).
