Combination VHF/UHF antenna (single 75 ohm cable or 300 ohm twin-lead wire) Connect the 75 ohm cable from a combination VHF/UHF antenna to the antenna jack. If your combination antenna has a 300 ohm twin-lead wire, use the 300-75 ohm matching transformer (not supplied). Combination VHF/UHF antenna (separate VHF and UHF 300 ohm twin-leads) Connect the UHF twin-lead wire to a combiner (not supplied). Connect the VHF twin-lead to the 300-75 ohm matching transformer (not supplied). Attach the transformer to the combiner. Attach the combiner to the antenna Jack. For subscribers to basic CATV service For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable directly to the antenna jack on the back of the television. For subscribers to scrambled CATV service If you subscribe to a CATV service which requires the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to the Converter/Descrambler box and connect the output of the box to the antenna jack on the back of the television. Follow the connections shown left. Set the television to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.

For subscribers to unscrambled basic cable with scrambled premium channels If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter (sometimes called a "two-set coupler") and an A/B switch box from the cable installer or an electronics supply store. Follow the connections shown left. 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 box to tune scrambled channels. 6 3S90431A [E] P02-08 6 3/8/05, 18:28
