Cable with a Cable Box that Descrambles Some (But Not All) Channels
To complete this connection you will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four coaxial
cables (which you can buy from your Samsung dealer or any electronics store).
1Find and disconnect the cable that is con-
nected to the ANTENNA IN terminal of
your cable box.
This terminal might be labeled "ANT IN",
"VHF IN" or simply, "IN". Connect this
cable to a two-way splitter.
2Connect a coaxial cable between an OUT-
PUT terminal of the splitter and the IN termi-
nal of the cable box.
3Connect a coaxial cable between the
ANTENNA OUT terminal of the cable box
and the B-IN terminal of the A/B switch.
4Connect a coaxial cable between the
ANTENNA OUT terminal of the cable box
and the B-IN terminal of the A/B switch.
5Connect the last coaxial cable between the
OUT terminal of the RF (A/B) switch and
the VHF/UHF terminal on the PDP.
After you've made this connection, set the A/B switch to the "A" position for normal viewing.
Set the A/B switch to the "B" position to view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B switch
to "B", you will need to tune your Set-Top Box to the cable box's output channel, which is usually
channel 3 or 4.)
