Connections Connecting Cable TV and VCR You can connect different cable systems to your TV, including cable without a cable box, and cable with a cable box that descrambles some or all channels. Cable without a Cable Box If you want to connect cable, and you do not need to use a cable box: 1 Plug the incoming cable into the ANT-A terminal on the back of the TV. Cable with a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels 1 Find the cable that is connected to the ANTENNA OUT terminal on your cable box. This terminal might be labeled "ANT OUT", "VHF OUT" or simply, "OUT". 2 Connect the other end of this cable to the ANT-A terminal on the back of the TV. 22 Connecting a Cable Converter Box This connection allows you to watch cable and premium channels. You should keep your TV selected to ANT-A so that you can use the TV features. When viewing premium channels, select ANT-B and tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever channel is vacant in your area), then use the converter box to change channels. You will need two coaxial cables. From Cable Note: When you use a converter box with your TV, there may be features that you can not program using the remote control, such as programming your favorite channels and blocking channels. Connecting a Cable Converter Box and a VCR This connection allows you to watch and record basic and premium cable channels, as well as watch videotapes. You should keep your TV selected to ANT-A so that you can use the TV's features. When viewing premium channels or recording with the VCR, select ANT-B (whichever channel is vacant in your area), then use the converter box to change channels. From Cable TV Rear Panel Caution: If you want to record one channel while watching another channel, a splitter (not included) must be added between the cable and ANT-A. One output of the splitter goes to ANT-A and the second output is connected to IN on the cable converter box. If you have a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to VCR Audio OUT using only one audio cable. If you have a S-VHS VCR, use the S-video connections and remove the video cable. Do not connect the video cable and the S-video cable to video1 simultaneously. Stereo VCR When you use a converter box with your TV there may be features that you can not program using the remote control, such as programming your favorite channels and blocking channels. 23
