Cable with Set-Top Cable Box If your cable service requires a set-top cable box (STB) to view scrambled channels, connect the components to the TV as shown in the following illustration. This setup enables you to watch scrambled and unscrambled channels. NOTE: • • • • If your cable box has different connectors from those shown, use the highest quality video connection available. Observe the color-coding on connectors. For digital cable, your set-top cable box might require a special two-direction splitter. Contact your cable provider for information. Or you can omit the splitter and omit the connection to the TV cable input. If all cable channels are scrambled, connect the incoming cable directly to the cable box (omit the splitter and omit the connection to the TV cable input). You can eliminate the cable box if your cable provider can install a CableCARD in the TV. See "Installing a CableCARD" on page 30. To do this...
