CaNe Box and Cable
This is the preferred basic cable TV hookup to use if your cable T'_
company scrambles some channels, but not all of them [pay channels
vs. regular cable channelsn so you need to use a cable box.
With this setup you can:
J Use the TV remote control to change channels using your cable
box when the signal is scrambled.
J Use the TV remote control to change channels using your TV
when the signal is not scrambled. EYour TV's tuner provides a
better signal than the cable boxA
J Use the Twin View feature. _When all channels are routed
through your cable box. only one signal is sent to the TV. so you
can not use the Twin View featureJ
J Use the Twin View feature normally with the CATV input.
d
Use the Twin View feature partially with the cable box. When
you switch the TV input to AUX - to use the cable box - the
unscrambled picture from the cable box will display. You can
display the signal from both AUX and VHF/UHF inputs in the
left Twin View picture, but you can display only the signal from
the VHF/UHF input in the right Twin View picture.

Installing the TV
Toset up your TV to use both a Cable Box and a direct-connect CATVcabJe:
1 Connect the Cable TV cable to the TV's VHF/UHF jack.
2 Using a coaxial cable connect the TV's TO CONVERTER jack to
the cable box's 1N jack. The TV's internal converter allows you [o
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.
3 Using a coaxial cable connect the cable box's OUT jack to the
fV's AUX jack.
