Setting up your TV Connecting an antenna or basic cable To connect an antenna or basic cable (no cable box): • Connect one end of a 75 ohm coaxial cable to the antenna or basic cable wall jack, then connect the other end of the cable to the RF (ANT) IN jack on the back of your TV. 9 An alternate method If you subscribe to a cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a converter/descrambler box, you may want to use a signal splitter and an A/B switch box (available from the cable TV company or an electronics supply store). Use the connections shown below. With the switch in the "B" position you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the "A" position, tune your TV to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.
