For best results, use this connection if:
❑
Your cable company scrambles some channels, such as premium
channels (which requires you to use a cable box), but does not scramble
all channels.
❑ You do not have a VCR. (If you have a VCR, see pages 32 and 33.)
With this connection you can:
❑
Use the TV’s remote control to change channels coming through the
cable box to the TV’s cable input. (You must first program the remote
control for your specific cable box; see “Programming the Remote
Control” on page 44.)
❑ Use the TV’s remote control to change channels coming directly into
the TV’s VHF/UHF input jack.
