Cable Box and
Cable Only 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 24 and 26.)
With this connection you can:
❑
Use the TV remote control to change channels coming through
the cable box to the TV’s VHF/UHF input jack. (You must first
program the remote control for your specific cable box; see
“Programming the Remote Control” on page 49.)
❑ Use the TV remote control to change channels coming directly
into the TV’s CABLE input. (The TV’s tuner provides a better
signal than the cable box.)
Notes on Using This Connection
About Using This Connection with Dual Picture (Twin View, etc.) Features
With this connection, you can use all the dual picture features for unscrambled channels
coming directly into the TV’s CABLE input jack.
