Memorex MLT1522 User Manual

This TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV converter box. Some

Cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels” in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal

viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable company.

For basic cable tv service not requiring a converter/descrambler box,

connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable to the VHF/UHF jack on the

rear of the TV.

If you subscribe to a satellite service or a cable TV service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box, connect

the incoming 75 ohm coaxial cable to the converter/descrambler or satellite box. Using another 75 ohm cable, connect the

output of the converter/descrambler or satellite box to the antenna jack on the TV. Follow the connections shown below. Set

the TV/VCR to the output channel of the converter/descrambler or satellite box (usually 3 or 4) and use the

converter/descrambler or satellite box to select channels.

If you subscribe to a satellite service or a cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels

require the use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal splitter and an A/B switch box (available from the

cable company or an electronic supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the “B” position, you can

directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the “A” position, tune your TV to the output of the

converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.

Make sure AIR/CABLE is set to CABLE, see page 19. Also, make sure your cable company broadcasts channels in the

range you are searching.

No, the cables are sold separately; visit your local electronics store.
