CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION
A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75- ohm coaxial cable
to the set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the ANT. Terminal.
Some cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels”. Since the signals of these premium pay channels are
scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company.
This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. For more specific instructions
on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler
provided by your cable TV company is explained below. Please note: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B)
is required (not supplied).
