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.)
1. Plug the incoming cable into the ANT 2 IN (CABLE) terminal on the back of the TV.
Because this TV is cable-ready, you do not need a cable box to view unscrambled cable 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 2 IN (CABLE) terminal on the back of the TV.
