CONNECTIONS (CONTINUED)

OUTDOOR VHF/UHF ANTENNA CONNECTION

Follow the instructions for the type of antenna system you intend to use. If using Cable TV (CATV), see bottom of page.

CABLE (CATV)/SATELLITE CONNECTIONS

This unit has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV converter box. Some

Cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels” in which 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.

or 300 ohm twin-lead wire)

Separate VHF/UHF Antennas

Combination VHF/UHF

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE

For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler box,

connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable to the VHF/UHF jack on the

rear of the unit.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO SCRAMBLED CABLE TV SERVICE OR SATELLITE

If you subscribe to a satellite service or a cable TV service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box, connect

the incoming 75 ohm coaxial cable to the converter/descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm cable, connect the output of

the converter/descrambler or satellite box to the antenna jack on the unit. Follow the connections shown below. Set the unit

to the output channel of the converter/descrambler or satellite box (usually 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler or

satellite box to select channels.
