Cable Box and
Antenna

For best results, use this connection if:

Your cable company scrambles some channels, such as premium
channels (which requires you to use a cable box), but does not scramble
all channels.

You do not have a VCR. (If you have a VCR, see pages 34 and 35.)

With this connection you can:

Use the TV’s remote control to change channels coming through the
cable box to the TV’s CABLE input. (You must first program the
remote control for your specific cable box; see “Programming the
Remote Control” on page 47
.)

Use the TV’s remote control to change channels coming directly into
the TV’s VHF/UHF input jack.

Notes on Using This Connection

Before connecting a cable

box, see “Using

CableCARD Device” on

page 30.
