For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service
For basic cable service not requiring a converter/
descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable
directly to the antenna jack on the back of the television.
For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service
If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use
of a converter/descrambler box, connect the incoming
cable to the converter/descrambler box and connect the
output of the box to the antenna jack on the back of the
television. Follow the connections shown left. Set the
television to the output of the converter/descrambler box
(usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler
box to select channels.

For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable
with Scrambled Premium Channels
This television has an extended tuning range and
can tune most cable channels without using a cable
company supplied converter box. Some cable
companies offer "premium pay channels" in which

B
the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals
for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler
device which is generally provided by the cable
company.
If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable
channels are unscrambled and premium channels require
the use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to
use a two-set signal splitter (sometimes called a "two-set
coupler") and an A/B switch box from the cable installer or
an electronics supply store. Follow the connections shown
left. With the switch in the "B" position, you can directly tune
any nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in
the "A" position, tune your TV to the output of the converter/
descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the box
to tune scrambled channels.

3. Replace the battery compartment cover.
Use two "AAA" size penlight batteries
(supplied) for the transmitter.The batteries may
last approximately one year depending on how
much the remote control is used. For best
performance, it is recommended that batteries
should be replaced on a yearly basis, or when
the remote operation becomes erratic. Do not
mix old and new batteries or different types.
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
These precautions should be followed when
using batteries in this device:
1. Use only the size and type of batteries
specified.
2. Be sure to follow the correct polarity when
installing the batteries as indicated in the
battery compartment. Reversed batteries
may cause damage to the device.
3. Do not mix different types of batteries
together (e.g. Alkaline and Carbon-zinc) or
old batteries with fresh ones.
4. If the device is not to be used for a long
period of time, remove the batteries to
prevent damage or injury from possible
battery leakage.
5. Do not try to recharge batteries not intended
