Cable Box and 
Antenna
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 34 and 35.)
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 47
.) 
Use the TV’s remote control to change channels coming directly into 
the TV’s VHF/UHF input jack.
