Package Contents
Introducing the FT) Trinkron Wega
Along with your new Trinitron TV, the packing box contains a remote control, a pair of wireless headphones, and three AA batteries (two for the remote control, one for the headphones). These items are all you need to set it up and operate the TV in its basic configuration.

CaMe Box a_d Cabte
This is the preferred basic cable TV hookup to use if your cable TV company scrambles some channels, but not all of them (pay channels vs. regular cable channels), and you need to use a cable box.
With this setup you can:
Use the TV remote control to change channels on your cable box
when the signal is scrambled.
Use the TV remote control to change channels using your TV when the signal is not scrambled. (Your TV's tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)
Use the PIP feature normally with the CATV input.
Use the PIP feature partially with the cable box. (When you switch the TV input to AUX to use the cable box the
scrambled picture will display only in the main window. If you turn on the PIP, you will be able to see any of the regular channels
in the PIP window, but you cannot SWAP the pictures between the main and PIP windows.)
(Continued on the next page) {
Installing the TV (Continued from the previous page)
1 Connect the Cable TV cable to the TV's VHF/UHF jack.
Using a coaxial cable, connect the TV's TO CONVERTER jack to the cable box's IN jack. The TV's internal converter allows you to switch between unscrambled signals coming straight into the TV and scrambled signals coming in through the cable box, eliminating the need for an external splitter.

Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box's OUT jack to the
TV's AUX jack.

VCR.
Jb p_event the accidentaBswitchieg of TV chaer_eg
When using the cable box, you need your TV to stay on a required channel (usually channel 3 or 4). You can use the TV's Channel Fix feature to lock in a specific channel. The Channel Fix feature is under the Channel menu. For details, see "Using the Channel Menu" on page 42.
Use this hookup if:
You subscribe to a cable TV system that scrambles or encodes all signals, requiring a cable box to view all channels, and You do not intend to hook up any other audio or video equipment to your TV.
When all channels are routed through your cable box, only one unscrambled signal is sent to the TV, so you cannot use the PIP feature. If some of your channels are scrambled, but others are not, consider using the hookup "Cable Box and Cable" on page 11
instead.
1 Connect the coaxial connector from your cable smwice to the
cable box's IN jack.
Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box's OUT jack to the TV's VHF/UHF jack.

Connecting a VCR and Cab/e Box
Use this hookup if:
Your cable TV company scrambles some channels, but not all of them (pay channels vs. regular cable channels) and you therefore
need to use a cable box, and You want to use the PIP feature.
With this setup you can:
Use the TV remote control to change cable box channels when the signal is scrambled.
Use the TV remote control to change TV channels when the signal is not scrambled. (Your TV's tuner provides a better signal
than the cable box.)
Use the PIP feature. Record both regular CATV and scrambled channels.
To connect a cable box and a VCR, you will need:
A small, inexpensive device known as a splittec Three coaxial cables.
Either a combination audio/video cable, or an S VIDEO cable and audio cables.
1 Connect the CATV cable to the single (input) jack of the splitter.
Use a coaxial cable to connect one of the two output jacks of the splitter to the TV's VHF/UHF jack.
3 Use a coaxial cable to connect the other output jack of the splitter
to the input jack of the cable box.
4 Use a coaxial cable to connect the output jack of the cable box to
the input jack of the VCR.
Use the video line (yellow) of a combination audio/video (A/V) cable to connect the video output jack of the VCR to the video input jack of the TV.
Connect the left (white) and right (red) audio output channels of the VCR to the respective input channels on the TV.
