1Find and disconnect the cable that is
connected 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.
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).
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.)
2Connect a coaxial cable between an
OUT terminal of the splitter and the
IN terminal of the Cable box.
3Connect a coaxial cable between the
ANTENNA OUT terminal of the
Cable box and the B-IN terminal
of the RF (A/B) switch.
4Connect a coaxial cable between the
other OUT terminal of the Cable box
and the A-IN terminal of the RF (A/B)
switch.
5Connect the last coaxial cable between
the OUT terminal of the RF (A/B)
switch and the ANT 1 IN (CABLE IN)

Connecting a Digital Audio System
1If your audio system has a coaxial digital audio input, connect to the “COAXIAL” output jack
on the TV.
2If your audio system has a optical digital audio input, connect to the “OPTICAL“ output jack
on the TV.
Be certain to remove the black cover from the optical output before inserting the cable.
3If your system has both coaxial and optical digital audio inputs, SAMSUNG recommends
you use the optical digital output on the TV.
Do not connect both optical and coaxial cables. This may damage your audio system.
●OPTICAL: converts the electric signal into an optical light signal, and transmits it through
glass fibers.
●COAXIAL: The digital audio signal is received through a coaxial copper cable.
There are many types of digital audio systems on the market today.
Asimplified illustration of an audio system is shown below. For more information, see your audio system
owner’s manual.
