Some cable-TV companies do not
follow the EIA/NCTA standards and
instead assign their own channel
identification. For example, some use
the standardbroadcast channel
numbers (2-13) for channels 2-13, but
identify their other channels with
letters. If your cable company does
not follow the EIA/NCTA standards,
ask them for a cross reference that
shows to which channels you should
tune your TV to receive their cable-
TV channels.
Scrambled Cable-TV Channels
Some cable companies offer "premium-
pay" channels in which the signal is
scrambled. Descxambfing these signals
for normal viewing may require the
use of a cable box which is generally
provided by the cable company.
How you connect the cable box to
your TV depends upon whether ornot
the cable box can be controlled by
remote control. If your cable box is
remote controllable, you will wantto
connect it as shown in Diagram B on
the previous page.
If your cable box cannot be controlled
by remote control, you will still be
able to remotely control
"unscrambled" channels with the
connection shown in Diagram C on
the previous page.

* VHF is only counted once in total channel count because you can receive channels 2-13 on
both "off-air" and "cable" channels. "Fnerefcurethe total channel count for"off-mr" and
"cable" is 181 channels(68+125-12ffi181).
** Channels 95, 96, and 97 are not applicable in Canada. Therefore, the total number in Canada
is 178.

4. Drill holes in cabinet
• Drill I/4-ineh diameter holes through the underside of the cabinet bottom using the
five circles on the mounting guide as a guide.
5. Remove mounting guide and drill shavings
Remove the mounting guide and clean the drill shavings from inside andunder the
cabinet.
6. Sdect spacersifrequired
• The spacers slip over the ends of the screws and allow you to mount the TV below
the edge of the cabinet's overhang.
• If your cabinet does not have an overhang, you probably will not need to use any
spacers.
• If your cabinet has an overhang, select the proper length spacer(s) so the TV will
clear the overhang when swiveled.
• Two orthree spacers can be used together to make lengths of 1/4" to 1-3/4" at 1/4"
increments. Refer to the chartbelow to select the proper spacers:
7. Select proper length of screws
•Only five screws are needed. The size you need depends upon your type of cabinet.
•Holding the selected spacers for one of the screw holes under the cabinet, install a
washer and screw inside the cabinet using one of the three lengths of screws
provided.
Note: A visual description of these parts is on page 2.
