Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels
If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the instructions below. You will need a two-
way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch and four lengths of RF cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)
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.
.
Connect an RF cable between the OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the cable box.
4.
Connect an RF cable between the ANT OUT terminal on the cable box and the B–IN terminal on the RF(A/B) switch.
.
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 last RF cable between the OUT terminal on the RF (A/B) switch and the
ANT IN
terminal on the rear 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 will need to tune your TV to the cable box’s
output channel, which is usually channel 3 or 4.)
Connecting a DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) via HDMI
This connection can only be made if there is an HDMI Output connector on the external device.
1.
Connect an HDMI Cable between the
HDMI IN 1 (DVI), 2,
or
4
jack on the TV and the HDMI jack on the DVD / Blu-ray
Player or Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box).
What is HDMI?
HDMI(High-Definition Multimedia Interface), is an interface that enables the transmission of digital audio and video signals
using a single cable.
The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size and has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital
Copy Protection) coding feature installed.
Each DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) has a different back panel configuration.
The TV may not output sound and pictures may be displayed with abnormal color when DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box /
Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) supporting HDMI versions older than 1.3 are connected. When connecting an older HDMI
cable and there is no sound, connect the HDMI cable to the
HDMI IN 1 (DVI)
jack and the audio cables to the
DVI AUDIO
IN [R-AUDIO-L]
jacks on the back of the TV. If this happens, contact the company that provided the DVD / Blu-ray player /
Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) to confirm the HDMI version, then request an upgrade.
HDMI cables that are not 1.3 may cause annoying flicker or no screen display.
