Scrambled Cable-TV Channels
Some cable-TV decoders require that you manually switch
from regular to scrambled channels on the decoder
whenever you wish to view the premium pay channels.
By connecting the decoder to the
ANT A
input and
CONVERTER
output on the TV as shown here, you can
switch between the scrambled and unscrambled channels
using the remote control.
To change the incoming signal from
ANT A
to
ANT B,
simply press the
ANTENNA
button on the remote. Each
time you press the
ANTENNA
button, the channel numbers
will change color on the screen to show which antenna
signal you are watching.
* Optional accessories are available from most RCA dealers and
electronics supply stores.
.
(Converter/Decoder)
Nonscrambled cable channels will come thru the
ANT B
input
whenever the channel numbers are yellow. The scrambled
channel from the decoder box will come thru the
ANT A
input
whenever the channel numbers are blue. Be sure to leave the
decoder box set to the scrambled channel, and remember to
tune your TV to the output channel of the converter box
(usually 2, 3, or 4).
