If you have two separate antennas for your TV(one VHF and one UHF), you must combine the two antenna signals before
connecting the antennas to the TV. This procedure requires an optional combiner-adaptor(available at most electronics
shops).

Connecting Cable TV
Cable without a Cable Box
1 Plug the incoming cable into the ANT IN (AIR/CABLE) terminai on the back of the TV.
_- Because this TV is cable-ready, you do not need a cable box to view unscrambled cable
channels.
a Cable Box that Descrambtes All Channels
1 Find the cable that is connected to the ANT 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 IN (AIR/CABLE) terminal on the back of the TV.

CableBox Switch
1 Find and disconnect the cable that is connected to the
ANT IN terminal on your cable box.
This terminal might be labeled 'ANT IN", "VHF IN" or
simply, "IN".
2 Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.
3 Connect an Antenna cable between an OUT terminal on
the splitter and the IN terminal on the cable box.
4 Connect an Antenna cable between the ANT OUT terminal
on the cable box and the B-IN terminal on the RF(A/B)
switch.
5 Connect another cable between the other OUT terminal on
the splitter and the A-IN terminal on the RF (A/B) switch.
6 Connect the lastAntenna cable between the OUT terminal
on the RF (A/B) switch and the ANT iN (AIR/CABLE)
terminal on the back of the TV.
After you have 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 wilt need to tune your TV to the cable box's
output channel, which isusually channel 3 or 4.)
